I bought my MSI 7REX laptop which came with 8GB only at first so I went to the local dealer who sold me another 8GB and even helped me fit the RAM on the motherboard.
Don't go with convertibles since RAM will be soldered onto the mobo and you cannot add more RAM to such laptops. Keep this in mind.

But better see that you go with any compact laptops whose RAM can be expanded and Ryzen is best in your use case scenario.

Sir but in 1st year of warranty can it be a good option to open a new laptop and add another 8 GB to it? just curious because if anything happens to it we can get a replacement or any kind of support for it, but if we open it then can they provide support?

Better get the quotes fro customer care if they will honor the warranty even if you opened laptop to upgrade RAM. Send email and ask them to reply in email. Decide based on their reply.
