The question asks if the Lenovo X131e has an empty M.2 port inside.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X131e I am upgrading.
Looking inside, I see an empty, what looks like and M.2 port empty with leads awaiting an upgrade.
I can't find info about what might have put the there back when this was new.
But what can I do with it now?
Also there are two of these ports. One has the wifi radio. Can I get a better, faster one that the motherboard will understand? If so, what model?
A thought, maybe the empty port is for Blutooth? I have no need for that.
I am hoping for a faster SSD in one port and a faster wifi in the other ??
Any help, suggestions, or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
You may wish to avoid using the port you think would support an SSD. From what I can see, Lenovo ThinkPad X131e Disassembly lacks detailed guides online. The laptop only accepts 2.5" drives, either SSD or HDD. The slots that look like M.2 might actually be for wireless networking adapters. Consider swapping the HDD for a 2.5" SSD.
