Laptop Recommendation that allows at least two(2) storage options

Go to solution Solved by ErrystioT,

Budget? If budget is not a constraint for you, here are a couple:

- Lenovo Legion Y520

- MSI GS43VR (One of the few 14" that has 2 storage bays)

- MSI GS63/73

- Lenovo Legion Y720

- Acer Predator Helios 300 (need to contact Acer for the 2.5" SATA bay and SATA cable or buy your own according to some people)

- Acer Nitro 5 (same story as the Helios 300 for the 2.5" SATA bay)

- Acer Aspire 5 (again, same story as the Helios 300 for the 2.5" SATA bay)

- HP Pavilion Power 15t

- Asus ROG Strix GL502

- Alienware 15 R3

- Alienware 17 R4

- Dell Inspiron 7567/7577

- And actually many more....

 

Normally gaming laptops have the multiple storage bays option but those are the ones that I know of (there's more that I can list but I think you can find it easily through quick Google :))

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone recommend a laptop that suite this minimum requirements. The disk option is the most important one for me:

CPU: i7 

RAM: 8GB

GPU: 2GB or higher 

DISK: Provides at least two(2) storage options for example, one(1) M.2 slot for my 128GB SSD, and the usual SATA for the 2.5 inch drive 1TB SSD

PORTS: USB3.1, HDMI (found freaking modern laptops that still have USB-dos zseesh)

 

I actually found a couple of laptops that suite my need on Dell,(well, based on their provided configurations on their page). One example, is the Dell Inspiron 17 7000. But it's too big of a form-factor for me. I wont opt for a desktop since I need it to be mobile and i'd rather not opt for an external SSD storage because of its price and i often forget things haha

 

Thanks!
