Not quite 700$ but I recently bought a Laptop with a Ryzen 5700u (8 cores, 16 threads) and upgraded the RAM to 40Gb. Easily under 1000$ brand new.

So your RAM runs on Single channel mode. makingbl it's "speed" worse.

From what I understand it's still dual channel for the first 8Gb, no? Not ideal but if I ever feel the need I could get another 32Gb stick and make it dual channel.
