If you tell us exact model of your laptop, I'll look for information 
about possible storage upgrades.
Some laptops have internal compartments and different kinds of 
connectors (M.2, NGFF, SATA connectors with variety of form factors, etc.),
so upgrading storage could be possible by purchasing few extra parts, 
like flat cable and drive caddy, or in some cases just by installing 
extra drive as is.

Personally, I always prefer storage to be internal, because of the 
mobility, so I buy laptops only with possible future upgrades to storage 
in mind.
I also have external HDD in a case with USB 3.0 interface, which I bring 
along on rare occasions.
