Good morning, evening, or afternoon everyone here on the forum and otherwise. I am a long time viewer of LTT and thought appropriate to ask some of these questions here. I purchased an Onn 13.3" 2-in-1 laptop within the last week, mostly because I wanted a cheap 2-in-1 for myself and noticed the i3 and 128gb SSD. It seemed alright for what I paid ($258-ish) and I am pleasantly happy with it so far. It ended up having a m.2 drive instead of sata and oddly a ton of space in a small form factor pc, also has a USB type-C port, to my surprise, and an Intel 9461 chipset, which was good enough for my home wi-fi and provided bluetooth 5.0.
The only upgrade I can see off-hand would be the m.2 to a PCIe or NVMe variant, but I'm wondering If it was possible to add and populate the 4 additional ram BGA areas? The board is 8gb certified already I've read and there is also a spot to add in an additional m.2 drive connector, which I would prefer more if possible. A third question would be about the capabilities of the USB type-c connector as far as speeds possible and if USB PD was possible before I purchased a charger.
Thank Everyone for any and all consideration and I hope that this can smart some great conversation.
PS: I will try and get a picture of the area underside the connector next to the m.2 port and any others needed if this gains any traction. Mod please tell if I posted this in the wrong area.
