There is:
1 x SO-DIMM RAM slot (DDR4-3200MHz, 32GB max)
2 x m.2 NVMe PCIe SSD slots
In my machine, there's 8GB of RAM soldered in and the slot has another 8GB. There's also one SSD in there (you can see the metal extension on this 2242 sized SSD to make it fit into what looks like a 2280 sized slot). The other SSD slot is next to it on the bottom.
NOTE: The spec sheet says this laptop supports SSDs with PCIe v3.0 x 4 (transfer speeds should be above 3000 MB/s). But after installing one, my test benchmarks only went as high as 1700 MB/s. It means one of three things:
1. I have a defective SSD (I don't)
2. It's not PCIe 3.0 - it's PCIE 2.0
3. It *is* PCIe v3.0 x 4, but this speed is shared (since I have 2 of them installed, speeds are halved)
But why all the fuss?
For most people, it won't matter. The vast majority of tasks will never make full use of this speed UNLESS... you often transfer large amounts of data. This is especially true for people who work with video - since the files are huge, you'll need the fastest speeds you can get.
There've been many times after a shoot that I've had to stay behind for hours to back up data. In these instances, you really need the fastest transfer speeds you can get.

DISCLAIMER: I made this video to show what the inside of my laptop looks like, with comments to remind me of what I did should I need to do it again. I don't encourage anyone to open up any electronic devices; if you do, you're on your own.
