Hi,
I read on the official site consumer.huawei.com/en/laptops/matebook-d-16-amd/ that there are two slots for SSDs ("2 TB refers to the maximum capacity supported by two hard disk slots. A single hard disk slot supports a maximum of 1 TB capacity. Only supports M.2 2280 SSD storage."). Where is the second slot? I disassembled but did not find the second SDD slot.
Thank you

    Did you try and open the laptop? Can the SSD be updated (max size is only 512 Go)?

    If this laptop is not for gaming, it's a pity that Huawei used an H processor which is much more power hungry than a U.

            The camera is hidden the same way and I personally love that. No privacy issues and the quality is sh*t anyway, most people I know use smartphone cameras for that because you have your phone with you more than the laptop. Anyway, for each their own I guess.

            Regarding the accidental presses, I had none and been using this laptop for almost a year. It's easy to tell it apart because it's the only keyboard "key" that's not illuminated.

                No display tests?

                  Gotta admit, missing the numpad in a productivity laptop is a deal breaker for some people, even for me. They could place the speaker at front, and add the numpad; this couldn't shorten the mousepad much.

                  Webcam position is odd, accidental press... well, ok I guess. Props for the display quality! Good job 👍🔥

                    Fine notebook with a lot of cool features but with stupid camera placing )))

                      What about adding laptops to phones and watches specifications🙂?!
