    i'm going to get a g501-jw with such config: single 1tb hdd and 8gb.
    1. as i understand: there is m.2 free slot now and 1tb hdd in 2.5" slot. is the m.2 slot actually free and will i be able to install a 2280 pci-e or sata iii ssd i want in this slot?

    2. as i understand there is 4gb soldered and 4gb sodimm module. can i install a single module of 16gb , let's say
    G.SKILL F4-2133C15S-16GRS to have 20gb ram total?
