Q: QuestionCan more ram be added? Want nothing less than 32(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes - supports up to 64gb total 5200. I just purchased and am waiting for delivery in a few days. Upgrading to 64gb ram and 2x 2tb SSD Samsung Pro storage. Seems to be the best option for something with this AMD processor and at least a 4070 GPUAnswered by Anonymous

MSI Alpha 17
I love this computer over my old MSI stealth. The bottom base is a bit bulky apperance wise. But. It runs like a dream, the sound quality makes you feel like your in a theater, it connects to my samsung which is convenient, the video quality is do good you can see the pores on your favorite movie stars. The specs also speak for themselves. This is a great computer
