ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

M.2

Okay kiddo, so m.2 is like a special little slot that lets you add more storage to your computer or laptop. It looks kind of like a long stick of gum, and you can slide it into your computer's motherboard just like you would slide a piece of toast into a toaster.

Once it's in there, the computer can use it to store all kinds of things - pictures, videos, games, and even the programs that make your computer work. The m.2 slot is really fast, so your computer can access all this stuff super quickly, which means you don't have to wait very long for things to load up.

Basically, m.2 is like an extra pocket in your backpack where you can keep all the cool stuff you like to take with you, but it's really fast so you can get to it even faster than anything else in your backpack. Pretty cool, huh?
