Looking at laptops to get and want two m.2s, and a 2.5 bay. Plus this has thunderbolt 3 and a SD slot. Port placement isn't as bad either, minus the headphone jack on the right.

Dell support is spotty.

I know you can get a smaller battery to make room for the 2.5 bay, but I think you give up one of the m.2 slots.

Yes, you will have to give up one of the M.2 slots for the battery.
You will have to trade-off the lesser of the two according to you.
If you ask me then I would say that you are doing a right choice if you buy this one for yourself.

I would put one more cell instead of a SSD to help the battery last longer than usual.

Actually I'm passing this laptop, I could care less about battery life in gaming laptops, AFAIC, they're just built-in UPSes and want max storage.
I'm currently looking at the Helios 300 since it has 2 m.2s, and a 2.5 bay available. Shame it has crap port placement and no SD tho.
