The fact that the M.2 and 2.5” drives occupy the same physical space is indeed unfortunate, but in fairness the WWAN slot isn’t useless, in fact I would bet that far more Latitude customers use WWAN cards than dual hard drives. And while I haven’t performed an exhaustive search, I don’t think anyone else offers a 14” business-class system that supports an M.2 SSD, a 2.5” drive, and a WWAN card all simultaneously either. If you don’t care about WWAN and would’ve therefore preferred the M.2 slot to be placed there in order to allow dual hard drives, then that’s perfectly fair and understandable, but then someone else would probably be complaining that this system doesn’t support WWAN cards like other equivalent systems offered by competitors. You can never satisfy everyone.
