Hi! Going to be ordering this laptop (hopefully) in 2 weeks so just getting a bit of info before I bite the bullet 
So I plan to chuck out the HDD bay and small 46WHr battery and replace it with the 64WHr one and use the storage in my current laptop to power this one. Only problem is that since my current laptop is using a HDD, I gotta get a M.2 drive to transfer everything to it. So I have three options for choices: ADATA SU800, Intel 660p and ADATA SX6000 Pro.
The SX6000 Pro is £30 more than the SU800 but is PCIe (and after getting a SX8200 Pro as a boot drive, I LOVE that fast PCIe speed. Much better than that crappy DRAM-less SSD I had before) while the Intel 660p is only £1 more than the SU800 (strange pricing) and has PCIe speeds as well but after Linus' video on it, I'm a tad bit sceptical of it. Would I even notice the extra speed since this would be used to store my games on it? So should I stick to the SU800 with only SATA speeds, risk getting the 660p with potentially worse than HDD speeds or spend the extra £30 and get the SX6000 Pro? I could do a lot with £30 Also side note, what RAM does PCS use?
