A few years back, when I bought my current laptop, SSDs had just shrunk and many models allowed a 2nd SSD to be added. I fell in love with this feature. However, it seems like most manufacturers dropped the ability to have a 2nd SSDs in favor of shrinking their chassis. I haven't been able to find any major brand laptops that still allow 2 SSDs.
It will be mostly a development machine, that I can game on occasionally. It doesn't need to play the newest and greatest games

Who still sells prosumer laptops that allow 2 SSDs? Please tell me somebody still makes these without getting into >>$3K professional laptops.

- Nice 15-16" screen (2K or 4K and bright enough to be viewed outside.
- GPU similar to an Nvidia 4050 or 4060 in performance
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB SSD that I can add an extra drive to.
- It doesn't need to be "small and light" but need to be sturdy enough to travel. I'd rather have full-sized USB and HDMI ports than low weight. It will get hauled in the field to connect to devices I might need to upload my code to. Doesn't need to be "ruggedized" just not flimsy.
- Battery for 3+ hours of heavy usage.
- Must be a major brand that I can get parts for if the screen cracks or similar.
- In a perfect world it would have a touch screen, but I know it is almost impossible to find gaming laptops with touch screens
- I'm hoping to stay under $2k, certainly under $2500. Won't complain if it requires me to buy aftermarket RAM and SSD and install them myself if it saves money to do so.

drive. I'm probably old-fashioned, but I really like the idea of having 2 drives.
