QUOTE(zzzxtreme @ Jun 2 2016, 11:10 AM) hi thanks. those have built-in nvme already. I'm looking for ones with empty slots. I see some gaming laptops have it, but they are big and bulky. the "lightest" so far I've encountered is Illegear U4. I'm trying to look for alternatives Illegear U4 got offer touch screen display ?

can recommend notebook which have - i5 or i7 cpu (hq variant) / u variant can consider [must 6th gen cpu) - fhd / 4k ips display (nice colour accuracy) - empty m.2 slot for ssd - minimum 2 ram slot - 14 / 15 inch - long battery life - design simple - easy to exchange hdd/m2/ram - backlit keyboard - dual band wifi b/g/n/ac - can pay via CC
currently in mind - dell 7559 i5 variant - dell 7559 i7 4k - hp envy 13 ( but cant exhange part )
budget 1k-3.5k if spec ok, can consider up budget
thanks
