Thank you for this. I think this is very likely to be my next hardware purchase....

I'll note that the T460p can also take an M.2 2242 format SSD in the WWAN slot. It's short (42mm not the normal 60+) and Transcend appears to be the main manufacturer for SSDs in the 2242 format. Up to 512GB, and of course since it's the WWAN slot you lose the ability to have a cell radio in there.

Reportedly a little fiddling in the BIOS to get it booting from the M.2, but I'd expect that to be the normal question of setting the boot order.

There are a lot of laptops like that in the PC market, more skewed towards gamers. I like Dave 2D's youtube reviews (no affiliation) of laptops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLsDn59fxdQ

He has a whole bunch more on his channel about others similar to that lenovo.

I've looked in to most major brands (Dell, Lenovo, HP, Razor) and can't find any offering with 64GB RAM + discret 4GB CUDA card + 4K resolution + 2 SSD + 1 spinning drive + Linux support.

If you know any other options, I would be happy to know.
