Anyone know the amount of RAM available for the laptop?

Personally I'm a bit disappointed that it's based on Rockchip.

If someone can come up with low cost open source laptop with RPi compute module 5 with 16GB RAM I think it will selling like hot cakes given the software and hardware eco-system that exist round RPi [1]. It just that the compute module has yet to come with 16GB RAM unlike the normal RPi 5 but it will probably just around the corner [2].
