You probably could, but DDR5 4800 is kinda slow; if it were me, I'd replace it with 32GB DDR5 6000.

1x 12GB SO-DIMM DDR5-4800; Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, dual-channel capable
dumb question, cause im 5. So can I just add another 12gb on top of it for dual channel? or dual channel only go with 4,8,16,32gb etc?
Apart from this, that 12GB RAM is a serious handicap and it's silly for a laptop to ship with a dGPU and under 16GB RAM in 2025. Upgrade to at least 16GB, or you'll run into serious memory issues with most modern games. 24GB RAM should be acceptable with this laptop, but if it were me, I'd recommend replacing at 12GB 4800 SODIMM with 2x16GB DDR5 5600. 5600 appears to be the max speed this series can support.
After that, your real limitation will be that 4 core CPU. Most modern games are now being designed to take advantage of 6 or more cores. It likely will not hold back that RTX 4050 however, so this laptop makes for a decent low-end gaming laptop once the RAM is upgraded. The 6GB VRAM is yet another limitation, so don't expect this to run Ultra-level textures at 1080p with any AAA game from the past 3 years.
