so im planning to buy 128gb intel 600p to replace my slow 1tb hard drive as boot drive, but when i check whether my laptop m.2 support nvme or not, i found out that it does but only in pcie x2. i was wondering will this impact or affect the speed much as the ssd is not so fast at speed of under 1GB/s? if you are wondering what my laptop is, its acer e5-475g-53iq(kaby lake), correct me if im wrong about something i said here. note: the reason why i dont look up on the m.2 850 evo is mainly because slightly more expensive price and its slower, but feel free to suggest another ssd at price of somewhere nearby the 600p

It is 1/2 the maximum benchmark speeds. It is still twice as fast as SATA. So rather than the 128GB which is too small for an only disk, get a lower performance NVMe with the cost savings. Get a 250GB Crucial MX300 or similar lower end SSD.
