Great laptop that does NOT contain a NVMe SSD as advertised

MSI Laptop Intel Core i5-10210U 8GB Memory 512 GB NVMe SSD Intel UHD Graphics 15.6" Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Modern 15 A10M-242
MSI Laptop Intel Core i5-10210U 8GB Memory 512 GB NVMe SSD Intel UHD Graphics 15.6" Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Modern 15 A10M-242

Pros: - Fast - Light - Thin bezel around the screen - Smaller than most 15.6-inch screen laptops - Centered keyboard without a 10-key pad - Firm key feedback. Not squishy. - Excellent trackpad - Quiet - 2x M.2 NVMe PCIe 3 slots

Cons: Contains a KIOXIA M.2 SATA SSD. This is _not_ an M.2 NVMe SSD, which is far faster.

Overall Review: I really like the laptop, but I am disappointed that it did NOT contain an NVMe SSD as advertised. Instead, the laptop came with an M.2 SATA SSD (part number KBG30ZMV5512G). The laptop has 2 NVMe PCIe slots, which is generous of MSI to include. So the fast slots are on the laptop motherboard, but a fast NVMe SSD is not installed. I replaced original SSD with a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD. The laptop's performance is noticeably faster for normal tasks.
