I found the back panel is extremely hard to reinstall. I tried few times and failed to do it correctly. Do you have any suggestions.

If you purchased this laptop without an LTE card, can you simply buy one and plug it into the M.2 slot? Are all the antenna cables already there ready for connection? Is the SIM card slot tray available to purchase also (instead of the plain cover)?

[@lawrencechen7521]

You cannot do that in USA. Maybe you can do it if you were in EMEIA area as they do not include an antenna in USA SKU. Therefore, it cannot be as easy as plug and play.

Can you upgrade the SSD with a4TB PCIe® Gen4x4 NVMe™ M.2 SSD ? Or is HP limiting in BIOS the “allowed” SSD models ?

I do it today and it works fine. Inserted a Samsung 990Pro 4TB. Basically you should be fine as long as you used a single sided SSD.
