They should also sell it with empty ram slots...
I'm sure a lot of people have a desktop with more ram than it needs that wouldn't mind sacrificing a stick or two for a steam machine in thier lounge, especially of they've switched over from windows 10 to Linux on their desktop...
Depending on your steam machine you get, it might have empty slots. I think one of the interviews said some will have a single stick of 16 and some two sticks of 8 just because the stock for RAM is so dumb they are taking what they can get.
I mean sell it with 0 sticks, but I also just realized it uses SODIMM DDR5, and I don't think many people have that just lying around 😅
Geeze, I hope not. 2x8 is a huge difference from 1x16.
