Anybody tried installing Optane Memory on their laptop?
How do I know if my laptop can be installed with Optane?
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y700-15ISK.

See below. Likely won't work for your laptop, and it is not worth it.

What are the base requirements to run Intel Optane memory?

• 7th Generation (or newer) Intel® Core™ Processor. See here for specific details.
• Intel® 200 Series Chipset (or newer).
• Intel Optane memory ready UEFI BIOS. Legacy BIOS mode isn't supported.
• Intel® BIOS SATA controller mode set to "Intel® RST...."
• Remapping enabled on the PCIe slot connecting the Intel® Optane™ memory module. (See the motherboard vendors user manual for more information.)
• Windows® 10 x64.
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology 15.5 or newer driver.
• Note: Some features/capabilities are only supported on later drivers, so it's recommended to always use the latest supported on your platform.
• Drive to be accelerated.1:
• SATA-based primary/system boot drive or secondary/data drive.2
• GPT Partition table is required for SATA disk to be accelerated. (Drives setup with MBR partition tables aren't supported for acceleration.)
• 5MB available at the end of disk.

Get a nvme with min 2400 mhz ddr4 ram or 2666 mhz. You don't really an optane gimmick.
