What's the difference between these?

It's the Legion Y520 Laptop from Lenovo.

 

Can't find the 80WK00GGMX on Lenovo's website so I don't know if what is advertised is true while buying.

This took a little while to figure out...

 

The 80WK00GGMX has the following specifications:

Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 1920x1080 IPS, Intel HD Graphics 630 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB), Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, Windows 10 Home 64-bit

The 80WK0007MX has the following specifications:

Hmm, so no HDD at all. Merely 256gb that should also fit the system files. Also the 8gb vs the 16gb but that one was kind of obvious.

 

I wonder if that SSD will be enough. Any chance of upgrading/adding another drive? In that case I think it's a go.

The two laptops look to have a very similar, if not identical design. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an empty spot for a SATA drive, though I can't find any documentation backing me up on this theory.

Since it's the same laptop, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to add another drive. This one'll probably have a free drive bay.

Would it then be possible to add another ssd? So that I have one m.2 ssd and one 2.5" ssd? I've looked everywhere for an answer, all i know is a hdd is possible to add if i buy a drive slot.

2.5" SSDs will fit wherever a 2.5" HDD will. Only difference is an HDD is 9.5mm tall and most SSDs are 7mm. A lot of SSDs come with an adapter to increases the height for a better fit. If they don't, you can always buy one separately.
