Please have a look at the picture below.



It shows the back of a laptop computer with the cover removed. The SATA connector is visible and one can easily swap different HDDs using it.

Which current laptop computers have the same design as in the attached picture? Please provide the brand, model and model number if you can.

Current generation laptops use m.2 ssd devices.
m.2 is about the size and shape of a stick of gum.
They are used to save weight and space.

To find one with a 2.5" replaceable slot, you probably need to look at something not quite current.

Why are you looking for one like you listed?
Replacing a laptop HDD is one of the best performance things you can do on a laptop.
Past that, replacing a small HDD or SSD with a larger ssd will usually be more economical than accepting the vendor's overpriced upgrade options.
Also true for ram upgrades.
Most any laptop with either a m.2 or a 2.5" drive can have the drive replaced .

For a laptop in which you are interested, google "xxxxxxxmake/model" ssd replacement.
Here, for example is...

That would be hundreds of them.
Anything with a 2.5" HDD.
Anything with a 2.5" SSD.

Not a Microsoft Surface.
Not an Asus Transformer.
Probably not anything "ultralight/thin".

No, there aren't hundreds of them.

I've looked at the current models of Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo and they don't have the desired design.

All easily replaceable.
