aw17r3 - Could be the best gaming laptop
Dell's failure to change the bios to a accommodate the Samsung 950 pro m2 ssd drives, has place these laptops in the position of run of the mill, overpriced laptops. These laptops could have been cutting edge, top of the line. I am very disappointed with my purchase.

For right now it may or may not boot. Install the drive as your secondary and run anything you want from the faster drive. The fact that it might boot 2-3 seconds slower without the M2 drive does not make it a turd. You then gain from the secondary drive. Are you also planning on changing both drives out or just the boot drive?
This overpriced laptop cost me $1999 with a 980 8 gig card that post at 59% of all comparable computers and with an I7-6820 CPU.
Runs fast, runs cool, runs everything and drives my 34" Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved Ultrawide Monitor - U3415W @ (3440x1440) resolution. Everything looks like glass.
Not happy with a 2-3 second slower boot, please invest in something else. Oh and expect to pay one heck of a lot more.
and did I mention I financed it and got back $237 so this over priced turd cost me $1762.
