The dual PDDR4 slot design is reserved for a piece of 8GB DDR4 RAM. We suggest that the user add an extra 8GB DDR4 RAM or put two 16GB DDR4.
One is the M.2 SSD, and its specifications are 2240. Therefore, the user must replace the old SSD with a new one that has the same specification as the old one once they need to change.
The other is the 2.5-inch HDD. The advantages of HDD are its large capacity, data stabilization, and low price. The HDD is protected by ThinkPad’s own APS. In terms of datum foundation, the laptop has done a good job.
