it was my fault for not reading correctly but this laptop only comes with single channel memory yes is it 16gb but i would not be as fast as 2 sticks of 8gb ram but its just a simple buy another stick of ram open the laptop and stick it into the slot next to the other also you can upgrade the storage to and ssd or a 2.5"ssd so keep that in mind if you don't like the 235gb of storage i would suggest 1tb or 500gb if you dont need as much but it will last allot longer if you are working with allot of infohope this helped someone thanks for reading
