Pretty much sure you bought FX706HE with 3050Ti (reg $999, was on sale for $799)
This one is FX706HC with 3050 (not Ti version, reg $899, on sale $679) Wave
·
The title of this deal states 3050 Ti. It should be 3050, not the Ti version.

Edit: OP corrected the title

I don't think it has any 2.5" Bay but it has another M.2 Slot and both of the slots are upgradable. Normally in Gaming Laptops, you don't often see soldered storage.

A lot of times even the manufacturer's stated max ram is wrong and sometimes they even come out with higher rank ram that lets computers have more ram than they were designed to have. I would expect that it has the typical max ram for a laptop with the same processor as it since the ram controller is directly on the cpu nowadays. The one thing to look out for is soldered ram which would limit you.
edit - I googled it and this model supports 64gb

Dang. Can anyone confirm if this has Thunderbolt? With the other version of this with the 3050ti there was conflicting information, same with this one.

Edit: I bought one, worst case I return it. I had a little FOMO from the 3050ti deal , but for $120 less if it has Thunderbolt this is worth it. (The diff between the ti and non-ti is negligible enough) I'll use the 3050 the go and I'll buy an eGPU dock for home.

Forget the $600 1650 laptops that are BF deals… this is only $80 more for 3050 plus 144hz 17 inch screen.
