I may have gone hog wild, but I blew it out to 64GB. Some of that is
used for video memory. The remainder is 62.5GB. Of which I am currently
using 6.02GB with Debian 12 and XFCE. My plan is that this one will
last me for a while.

It has two slots for memory. I don't know whether you can put one stick
in now and leave the other slot for later.

The pre-sales technical support was excellent; you might inquire.

Again, possibly overboard: I went with 1TB, of which I have about 400GB
not allocated.

I did my own partition scheme.

It actually does have a bluetooth adapter on it. It requires firmware,
so they don't mention it.

Mine, of course, came to somewhat more than that.
