“Can anyone 100% confirm that it's 16gb soldered with 1 slot free or if its 8gb soldered and 8gb in the slot? In addition, if it's 16gb soldered, does anyone know what memory would be compatible to purchase for dual channel setup?”

Not sure why people keep saying this has 16gb soldered and one sodimm slot free. Asus has a ton GA503 variants on its websites across the different regions, but virtually none of the GA503QR’s (the QR means 3070 gpu version) have a 16gb soldered and free sodimm slot configuration. They’re all either listed as 8gb soldered + 8gb sodimm, OR 16gb soldered + 16gb sodimm. In fact, Asus only lists two GA503 configurations as available at the time of this response. One is a 3060 version, and the other is a 3070 version, which matches the Best Buy specs above exactly. That’s the GA503QR-HQ115T model on Asus’s website, and it clearly says 8gb soldered on board and 8gb in sodimm slot. https://rog.asus.com/fi/laptops/rog-zephyrus/2021-rog-zephyrus-g15-series/spec/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The GA503QR model with the RTX 3070 and AMD 5900 HS has only 8 GB soldered. + 8 on a stick you can replace. You can upgrade to 40 GB. 8 onboard +32GB stick. I own one and I did it. Also has two m2 slots. One was free so I added a 1TB M.2 SSD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Confirming on the GA503QR, it's 8GB soldered and 8GB as an upgradeable stick. That slot will take up to 32GB for 40GB total system memory. The first 16GB will run in dual channel and single channel beyond 16GB.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to multiple sources including the asus website. 16gb is soldered on one side. Leaving one vacant spot to upgrade. Which makes the most sense. Considering this laptop can be upgraded to 48gb. 16gb+32gb=48gb.
