Hi,

Please see the attached picture. Can someone help me identify 2 things
1. Second M2 slot and
2. 4 RAM Slots

This is a picture of ASUS GL702VS motherboard. according to the userspec (User manual) and system information my laptop has 4 RAM slots but i can only see 2 of them and it has two M2 slots but I can see only one.
one RAM slot there is 16GB RAM and M2 has a 240GB SSD.

User Manual page 85 for M.2 description

Thanks in advance.

The specs on ASUS website would indicate 2x DIMM slots and 1x M.2

IF you have 4xDIMM and 2xM.2, quite a few laptops access additional slots from underneath the keyboard, on the reverse of the motherboard.

Doesn't look like that laptop has the options though.....

Looks to be misinformation AFAIK.

CPU-z will always show 4 slots.

I can't find any independent info that would indicate >2 DIMM slots or >1 M.2

No configs available for sale with 2xM.2 or 4x16GB DDR4. All I can find has 1xM.2 and max 32GB (2x16GB)
