According to ASUS it's 24gb but looks like many have tried 32 and even a total of 54gb with no issues

It has 8GB soldered and 8GB in an upgradeable slot.

by serviceable you mean you can swap it out?

as others mentioned it just means it gets the job done, as in it meets the requirements for the vast majority of games but keep your expectations low and certainly don't buy it for that sole intended purpose.
