Yes I own this laptop and I added 32GB Single slot RAM even though it states support of 16GB only, I am running 40GB RAM and 3TB(1TB + 2 TB) SSD I like everything but fan noise.

FWIW: even though it is open box, register with Asus and get 1 year warranty as well. I am not sure but I also got a free year of accidental warranty as well.
It doesn't come with type C Charger but it does support charging through Type C, I regularly use it directly with my type C docking station
According to ASUS it's 24gb but looks like many have tried 32 and even a total of 54gb with no issues

Based on specs, looks like it might throttle a bunch. Anybody know?

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

Yes, though I'd say the RTX 3050 is serviceable but not great as it was the bottom-tier discrete GPU offering from Nvidia and has been superseded by the 4050 mobile.

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.

Depends on what your needs are. I'd say it's a solid laptop at this price point. It's a bit of a fingerprint magnet but any basically black laptop will be
