The early reporting on it was "every system is 16GB". The memory is replaceable, but you have to do an excessive amount of surgery to get at it, including removing the heatsink.

I don't see any reason for Valve to ship a "it doesn't work out of the box" sku.

Yeah no way Valve sells a non-functional device, defeats the entire purpose of the product
