edit - I googled it and this model supports 64gb
According to Intel [intel.com], it's 32GB max.
I'm wondering how it really stacks up if you're staying in 1080 territory. But definitely sounds like you don't want to use a 1440 monitor with this one.

Unfortunately the 3050ti model is no longer on sale, it's 999. That's why I said I had some FOMO about it. I should have just bought it and given it a shot.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this 3050 model ALSO has Thunderbolt. If it does then it fits my needs perfectly. Basically I wanted a relatively cheap laptop with a decent CPU and a reasonable GPU along with Thunderbolt. My thought is to spend another $300 and buy an eGPU dock for use when at home but the 3050 or 3050ti is more than sufficient for me when on the go.
I WAS considering the Dell G15 with the 3060 but it's a LITTLE higher than I want to spend.
