If it helps anyone, I made a quick tutorial on how to physically install laptop RAM and test that it is working correctly:
How To Install Laptop RAM Memory - Step By Step Guide https://youtu.be/m4gkChpNi1E
Install on most laptops is fairly easy, even for beginners.

Older RAM (DDR3) has much lower CL numbers than DDR4 at higher clock speeds. As the clock speed rises, so does CL.
Now, there is specialty RAM (like HyperX) that you can buy with very low CL speeds, but you pay a high premium.
To me, 2666@CL19 vs 3200@CL22 is a wash in terms of actually noticing a difference. It is what it is...
In a normal laptop, this stuff is fine. If you bought a high performance gaming laptop, get the HyperX or similar. I think mine is 2666@CL15.
I'm looking for 2X16 (32GB) Dell G5 laptop

Edit: did you go with the 3200 or stick with the 2666?
assuming the install wasn't too bad? yt tutorials seem pretty straight forward

too bad M1 mac mini is not RAM upgradeable, otherwise, would jump on it.
I would get the 2666 version, should work. Do you need 32gb? I have 16gb in mine and only 30% used. If you need to run VMs or DBs I can see 32gb being useful.
Just saying since you can get 16gb for around $55
