Laptop Studio 2

[16:10] Powerful laptop with the latest top mobile CPU and second from the top GPU that Intel and nVidia have to offer in mid-2024, it has operated well for me over the last month that I have owned it. Today I upgraded it by adding a 2TB Samsung 990 NVME M.2 SSD into the "SSD2" location on the ASUS MB and it initialized and formatted flawlessly in Windows 11. So I now enjoy a total of 3TB storage, with the original 1TB Hynix M.2 SSD acting as the boot drive (drive 0; "C" drive) and the new drive as secondary storage (drive 1; "D" drive). With the 32GB of DDR5 SODIMM RAM this laptop far exceeds the performance benchmarks of my 9-year-old Skylake desktop in capabilities; except the ability to run cool and silent. I've noted that the CPU temperature does max out under heavy gaming, but it hasn't noticeably affected gameplay [ESO only]. Alas, in my limited experience with laptops, they just never seem to handle peak loads without hitting thermal limits on the CPU. I may have to invest in one of those cooling devices I've seen that support the laptop and dissipate some of the heat produced; but I probably won't do it unless I actually see a problem or get tired of the fans spinning up to top speed (they can be loud, but headphones help). One or two performance cores have hit 100 C [using hwmonitor] max. So far I have no complaints.

[1500 G] I have a recent Dell laptop that uses M.2 2230 SSD. The factory installed SSD didn't perform very well and didn't have the very good specifications for its price. I looked at the Sabrent Rocket 2230 and liked the much-improved specifications. It was worth the price. The laptop is noticeably faster in operation and seems to be more stable than it was with the factory SSD. I'd recommend the Sabrent to anyone looking to improve the performance of their device with a 2230 form factor SSD.

[2 x 2] This is a good, no frills laptop. Dosen't come with a ton of storage, but it has ports for an M.2 and a SSD, which I've already utilized to add 2TB of storage. Plays high res games no issue

[1x VGA Input] This laptop met all my requirements. I was even pleased to see an open slot for ram and M.2 which I easily added 16GB Crucial ram and 1TB Samsung M.2 SSD and are working great. I was a little disappointed to see that the available M.2 was missing the mounting screw which I had to take from another computer. Other than the missing mounting screw the memory upgrade was easy and smooth. Pros: Love the stable and accurate GPU and display, very nice keyboard, numeric keypad, quiet fans, sensible ports and built in SD reader. Cons: Missing M.2 set screw, and the speakers seem to vibrate against the housing at high volume.

[Yes] I have installed it on my Asus gaming laptop for game storage as a second M.2 and it is really fast and even without heatsink, it doesn't get hot. I am considering now to buy a second one with 2TB for game storage and makes the 1TB version the primary one for the OS, as it is faster than the pre installed Samsung ssd.

[Water] My Maschine studio and laptop fit perfectly.Yep

[Full Height] The ASUS Hyper m.2 Card is the best M.2 card on the market. Slots to add up to 4(four) M.2 SSDs to your computer. Hyper m.2 card comes in well-built sleek looking card with a built-in cooling fan for the SSD's. What more could you want?

[4] I am a designer and an artist with limited desk and studio space and I was looking to optimize the available space by getting my laptop and second display monitor off the table...the mount exceeds my expectations, it is well build, and very sturdy, the manual and instructions were easy to follow and the whole setup with everything included from unboxing to laying out the tools (included) to the final adjustments took less than one hour. I can strongly recommend this product to anyone who is working from home and in need of more available space ...FIVE BIG STARS!

[5/8" Stud] I've purchased this for a more secure way to tether my laptop in studio and on location.. It's HEAVY and bulky, but it will protect my $3500 laptop from getting knocked over. Legs are pretty wide. not much to say about a stand
