Well it appears we have two obstacles to overcome :
1) Getting the PBP to boot from the PCIe/NVMe, seems the booting firmware is a bit of a challenge
There are some pretty good people working on it.
>Some including Luke have mentioned a 'work-around' that may work....
2) There is also the limits imposed by the ultra low power available from inside the PBP itself.
IF you want to install a NVMe into your desktop it is no problem... Even if you had to put in a bigger power supply, no big deal.

Maybe someone could talk Toms Hardware into doing an article on putting NVMe's into laptops....?
There is also the problem of making it fit without hitting the touch pad.....
