Overall this little guy packs a lot of punch for such a small footprint and price, and I wish I had a reason to pick up a 3rd one.

The GMKtec tech support was very responsive by email to my questions.

I wasn't referring to "questions". I was clearly referring to physical warranty support in the US....since these mini-pc's fail as a result of overheating (and there are a variety of other reliability issues as well).

Just use a streaming device for YouTube/other apps. This isn't really designed for that purpose.

But you can find, like, a decade+ of threads of people documenting putting 2x the amount ARK lists for their CPU, and having their machine work fine. Hell, I can make this one of those threads: I've attached a screengrab from my old QNAP TS-453A, configured with twice the RAM ARK would have you believe its processor could support. It's been running for seven or eight years with no issues.
It's confusing, and Intel could be clearer; ARK is a super useful database, but when working with a system with a restrictive cap, it's worth googling if anyone before you has tried to go over said cap. If you wanna be conspiratorial about it, you could say that Intel wants you to go with a higher-end processor to get more memory supported. Regardless the reason, I'm certain that some N150 systems would have no problem with some 32GB RAM configurations; this isn't even the first I've heard of it.
NOTE: There are no USB-C ports on this PC. I didn't think to verify that when I ordered, was just surprised when it arrived. My fault entirely, but want to bring it up.
