Compare with single DDR4 SODIMM, it is 64 bit single channel, and two DDR4 SODIMM would be dual channel or 128 bit.

Or do you mean it supports dual channel? You will indeed want to run this thing in dual channel. If it only comes with a single 16GB SODIMM, you can get another off eBay for ~$125.

I picked up a used Beelink SER7 with a 7840HS and 32GB RAM off eBay for $450 a month ago, and I'm quite happy with the performance. It's my new PS3 emulation box, and has done a good job playing quite a few AAA PC games at lower settings too. 780M is still a very relevant processor when you give it 8GB from a 32GB PC, leaving you with 24GB, which is plenty for current games on low.

PS3 emulation would be cool. Would you happen to know if they sell refurb or scratch and dent beelink mini-pcs anywhere?

780m PCs are a good entry level for PS3 emulation. I played through the entirety of Killzone 2 the other day, and it was a mostly flawless experience once I had the settings dialed in.
As for Beelink, I'm really impressed with their customer service. The PC I bought from eBay had a slightly damage power adapter, one of those stupid magnetic models they shipped with the SER7. I contacted Beelink support and they requested a couple pictures and the serial number, then they shipped me a new adapter free of charge. They originally wanted me to send proof of purchase (the eBay seller didn't have it) but they waved that requirement after I told them I couldn't find the original invoice.
The one thing that concerns me is that a review on the Redragon website says that the VRAM is set at 512MB and is NOT adjustable in BIOS. That's not too surprising with these cheap miniPCs, but disappointing. Also, I don't see that the TDP is adjustable. It's set at 45W. Not horrible. I have a GMKtek K8 (not plus) and while there is some slight adjustability, the performance boost wasn't that significant and it was loud enough at 45W. Pretty decent for the price.

Advanced settings are accessible in the BIOS by hitting CTRL+D. You'll want to search the web for how exactly to change the VRAM, and don't complain if you break something.
