How could an M.2 SSD be seated incorrectly? It's either in and screwed down or it isn't. As for making the machine thicker, this obsession with shaving every last micron off has become almost cartoonish. I'll take serviceability and good keyboard travel over fashion statements any day, even if my laptop has to be a millimeter or two thicker because of it.

Once that soldered-in SSD goes, that expensive fashion statement is just more e-waste.

With this was true. The M2 design is terrible from an engineering perspective both mechanically and thermally. At best the mounting is a hack job.

I agree with the problem though. M2 is just a crappy answer to it.
