Hello, this is my first post here, really glad I found this forum. When looking for an inexpensive laptop to take to class, a few weeks ago I managed to pick up a T450 with an i5-5300u, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SATA SSD, and fully activated Win10 Pro for $175. This is really my first laptop and I've been extremely happy with it. I've already replaced the internal battery which was worn to just over half capacity and upgraded the external battery to a 48WH battery. But enough gushing, on to my actual question.

I've been wanting to play around with and learn more about Linux for a long time but have never really taken the plunge. My only exposure to it is a bit of fooling with a Raspberry Pi, and a bit of poking around with a Ubuntu Live CD/Flash Drive. I've heard that many Thinkpads have good Linux support, and was wondering how feasible it would be to install a Transcend 256GB MTS400S SSD and set up dual boot with Windows on my SATA SSD and Linux on the M.2. Any additional advice on what distro to try would be an awesome bonus.

Does the T450s have 2 M.2 Slots? I'm about the order a T450s, but I'm unclear if there are two M.2 expansion slots or just the one with the 16GB Cache drive. If you look at the image (Imgur (you see the 500GB HDD, a 16GB M.2 SSD, and a '3rd M.2 SSD Slot'.

1. Laptop M.2 Compatibility List. Security Lock slot; Spill-resistant keyboard TrackPoint. More Lenovo ThinkPad T450 configurations - 40 laptops.
2. In-depth review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T450-20BV001VGE (Intel Core i5 5200U, Intel HD Graphics 5500, 14.0', 1.7 kg) with numerous measurements, benchmarks, and ratings.
3. So awhile back I was looking for a laptop and finally picked up the T450. I have a question about M.2 ssd and this laptop. I read around and some people say it works as a boot drive and some say it doesnt. The M.2 slot on the this laptop has 1 notch and Ive seen some M.2 ssd drive have 1 and 2 notch cutout.
