Can the 64GB version be upgraded DIY with a NVMe SSD?
It claims to be a eMMC but goes on to clarify it is a PCIe Gen2 x1 connection. Does this mean it is just a m.2 card?
- JeremyNT 5y agoThat's what I'm wondering here. If it's just a normal m.2 slot then you're way better off price-wise getting the entry level unit and upgrading later on.
- msie 5y agoYou probably can. Everything seems standard hw and they are touting the ability to add anything to it and even replace the OS. It won't be locked down like Apple's hw.
- rasz 5y agoAMD CPUs have dedicated eMMC controller on die. eMMC flash is super cheap compared to dedicated pcie SSD.

- postalrat 5y agoYou are making a lot of assumptions.

- kart23 5y agointeresting. maybe it was a last-minute change? or the guy was just underinformed.
- samtheDamned 5y agoIt's been confirmed that all 3 editions use m.2 for internal storage
