Yes there are 4 slots, two are easily accessed. 4 16 Gb will give you 64 GB, the possibility is there. Had you purchased from a custom dealer you could have gotten the RAM set up you wanted or had 2 16 GB install so that you could have upgraded to 64 GB. The options are out there. Different Vendors sell notebooks to there specification and some countries only allow certain configurations. Here in the US Asus sells one version with 32 GB and one with 64 GB its a matter of how much you want to pay, that is for 17" models, I don't pay any attention to 15" or smaller screen notebooks.

I want to play the devil's advocate for a moment. What are your plans for the laptop that you want 64 GB of RAM? I ask because some people just want to upgrade because it's point of pride, or others because they want the most for gaming. The conundrum is that beyond 16 GB of RAM, diminishing returns kick in hard. The flip side is things like CAD programs or Photoshop that can utilize more RAM.
So it's a pain in the ass to get to the internal slots, but ask yourself if it's really worth stressing about. Your bottom two slots *should* be empty (depending on where you bought it from), and that gives you the option to add 32 additional GB. For most people, that's way more than they will ever need.
As for the false advertising claims, it's all accurately advertised. It sucks how much work it takes to get to the RAM, but nothing was falsely advertised. I've had machines that were just as bad to get to the old RAM slots, or hard drive, or even the battery. Having to dismantle part of the laptop is much more common on consumer notebooks than having easy access to upgrade.

Exactly as Clintlgm stated. There were other ways to configure your notebook other than buying through a retailer even, let alone a vendor, because in this aspect, you will be paying for a configured SKU of that particular model out of more than a few ASUS has already for your G752VT. It's not false advertising, it's marketing!
I do understand your frustration though and a little more research on your part would have helped you out here before making this purchase. However, in another light, I understand why some people opt for the lower SKUs with 16GB RAM and less SSD space. To save money and pay less for these upgrades themselves (off Amazon or eBay) when purchased separately. So even if you're curious what will happen if you do upgrade, don't go asking ASUS Tech Support.. of course they're going to say exactly what you think they would. They follow a script, helping with the basics, doing their jobs. The person actually doing the physical servicing of your notebook is who determines the answer to your question regarding warranty.
Now regards to your warranty. Warranty COULD be VOID if they determine any tampering has been done with your notebook that CAUSED whatever issue you were having that required the RMA, and from what I've seen roll through these forums over the years, they aren't out to prove you guilty! I haven't read of anything like this being done by a customer and ASUS denying them warranty for it once it reaches the service center. In fact, people seem to have more damage when their notebooks are returned from RMA than the condition they were in when originally shipped. That's an entirely different discussion though. You get some really good caring people in the service centers and then you get some really *I hate my job* types.
CONCLUSION: Simply just remove the screws (even follow a disassembly guide on YT for G752 models), upgrade to your 64GB RAM, and call it a day.
