    Looking at a Costco Flex 5 15.6" 4K 1TB SSD MX450, can it be upgraded or at least have another drive added?

    Thanks

    To my knowledge there is no 2nd slot for an SSD. So upgrading the original is the only option
    RAM is soldered.

    Thanks, Not a gamer but do Photoshop and Sony Vegas rendering. I wanted a hard to find dinosaur package that has a RJ45 ethernet and SD Card slot, non-touch, with a little horsepower.

    I went with a Customized ZTECPC ZT-NH58DBQ 15.6" 16:9 1920x1080 Matte, Intel® 10th Gen Core™ i7-10750H - 6 Core - 12 Thread CPU, 2.6 ~ 5.0GHz Max Turbo, 12MB Smart Cache, 16GB (2x Premium 8GB 2666MHz), Global Brand 1 TB 2.5, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 128-Bit w/ 4GB GDDR6, Wi-Fi 6 AX200, Clean Install of Windows 10 including 32GB Clean Install Flash Drive.

    I asked what is global brand because I don't want generic and they don't state it because of supply and demand but it will be a major brand because they don't want the warranty work expense the generics generate. He promised I will be pleased. I'll hold their feet to the fire on that one during the trial period.
    I usually do the clean install thig but got lazy.

    ZTECPC? Rolling the dice.
