Q: When will this restock? Did Best Buy actually just sell all of their available units via preorders?

A: Yes, it was sold out during pre orders. I tried for 3 days to get a pre order and they were all gone within minutes. There is a company in CA that bought a ton of the pre orders and is now selling them for a higher price.

Q: Will the new bios updates Asus released support higher speed ram such as 5200, 5600 or 6000

A: i put a 64gb kit of crucial 5200 cl42 (CT2K32G52C42S5) and its working just fine at its rated speed.

Q: Is the RAM and SSD upgradable on the laptop, and is there one or two M.2 slots available?

A: There are two NVMe ports and one of them is occupied by the 1 TB NVME drive and the second is available for installing a NVMe. There are two RAM slots both of them occupied by 8 GB Samsung chips. According to Asus you can put in up to 32 GB of RAM but you cannot upgrade this RAM speed due to limitations in the BIOS that they haven't fixed yet but maybe upgradeable in the future.
