Thank you for your feedback.

Could you provide a bit more insight about form factor? 22mm width and up to what lenght? 42mm, 60mm, 80mm, 120mm?

In regard to bus, PCI Express 3.0 4x bus, I assume? So no m.2 NVME slot; any suggestion for a PCI Express adapter or recommended specs?

I understand the BIOS supports booting from an NVMe SSD, please kindly confirm.

Thank you once more.

Very good questions. I'll find out the NVMe size and let you (all) know. I'll edit the info into this post.

There will be an optional m.2 adapter that will be used for the NVMe drive; it won't be expensive, so don't worry. It will plug into the main PCB - see red circle on image. The actual drive will mount kind-of underneath left palm rest.

There is no BIOS - theres uboot. uboot can live on any bootable medium, including SPI. So yes, you could boot from NVMe SSD -- that said this, to my knowledge, is yet to be implemented (surely will by the time the PB Pro ships).
