Apparently some units ship with a single 16GB. Mine came with double 8GB ram sticks. So I had to purchase double 16GB ram sticks for 32GB RAM.
Also for anyone who might be interested, To be honest the brightness on this laptop is plenty indoors and at night you have to dim it down cause it's too bright.
My rating on this laptop is 9/10 and it's as good as it gets for this price compared to other laptops costing almost double!

Oh and I've been running 64 Gig in mine since I bought it.

This guy does an entire unboxing/benchmark testing for this laptop (looks like the same exact model). It is a pretty long video, but makes the laptop quite appealing. His biggest complaint seems to be CPU getting slightly toasty on some CPU intensive games, but otherwise could be mitigated through higher fan curve. For $1150, he believes it is an excellent deal.

Best buy listing doesn't say anything about gpu power at all.
from Ebay:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6 with ROG Boost at 80W (105W with Dynamic Boost 2.0) for an ultrafast GPU to fuel your games.

He asked for downsides; I tried to come up with the biggest downsides I could. These are the worst things - other than the aforementioned screen - that I could come up with. In fact, after this I pulled the trigger. I've also snagged 2x 32GB sticks of low-latency RAM (TEAMGROUP T-Force Zeus DDR4 32GB 3200MHz CL16 [amazon.com]) and I'm really hoping I can hit 64GB on this machine.
To me, Windows 11 didn't bring anything impressive to the table. There's not a fundamental shift in driver architecture, which made many of the prior releases a big deal. WSL2 was made available on Windows 10, so I'm not missing out on that. Windows Subsytem for Android is cool, but Win 10 Phone Link makes it somewhat redundant. DirectStorage looks really interesting for gaming, and may be the 'fix' for modern, poorly optimized games that are written for console first, where they don't have to worry about 'double-copying' assets (SSD->system RAM->Video RAM), but very few games have implemented it so far.
Meanwhile, it took away or locked down a few things. I don't care about the taskbar on the side or top, but at initial release it was forced to the center. It seems to be much more aggressive about offering 'featured' apps in the start menu, and will nag much more when Edge is not your default browser. The Settings UI is still split between Control Panel and the Settings app, but with some things moving each update, the inconsistency is annoying. There are also fun bugs - at one point Windows telemetry bugs prevented local apps, like Notepad, from being able to open.
Some of these things I can clean up with tools like O&O ShutUp10++ [oo-software.com], and some are the growing pains of OS rewrites: you simplify the code, aim for minimum viable products, and add features back later. I'm not horribly against it, but I didn't see enough to switch in a hurry. There are people who are far more against Windows 11 than I am.

To be honest, my experience with Windows 11 is very limited. I have one machine with it, but it's an SFF machine that I primarily picked up as a small Linux box. About half of the major Windows releases have been contentious (7->8, XP->Vista, and 98SE->Me to name a few), and while usually I've been in the 'upgrade now' camp, this time... I haven't.
