1. Memory is upgradable to 64GB (2x16GB). Any DDR4 is fine. The spec you read is "up to". Slower memory but with less latency is not going to make a difference.
2. No usb-c
3. External monitor is limited to 1080P. This is dell article blame motherboard and it is by design.

However, some research showed people using Intel driver be able to go 2K/4K. So it may be dell video driver limit resolution

4. Intel i5-1235U vs AMD 5500U basically have no difference on CPU benchmark. AMD is little better on gaming due to higher GPU clock speed. Intel is probably has better battery life due to efficiency CPU cores. If price is the same, you can choose either depending on your use case. If AMD is $100 more, choose cheap Intel.
5. Intel UHD and Iris Xe are basically the same. Iris Xe MUST to use dual channel memory. So with one DIMM 8GB, you will get UHD. Two DIMMs you get Iris Xe. It is the same CPU. Just marketing term to have you buy more memory from Dell to use Iris Xe.
6. It ships with Intel AX201 (wifi6+BT5.2). Nice. No need to replace dell crappy Wifi-BT card.
7. This laptop has a 2.5 slot for SATA SSD
I plan to wipe it clean with windows 11 pro no bloatware. Install 16GB(2x*GB) to get Iris Xe and replace with good NVME 512GB(most likely dell ships DRAM-less 256GB nvme) since I have spare parts to upgrade. Install intel driver to see if it can go beyond 1080p external monitor. If you don't have spare parts, the better configuration with 16GB/512GB goes on sale around $485 based on slickdeal or you find elsewhere for parts.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, you should avoid it.

Is this standard? Was hoping to gift this to dad. But he uses word and excel regularly. Will need to buy office separately. I thought it's always included with windows.
RAM is DDR4 2666, but i5-1235U support DDR4 3200, doesn't support DDR4 2666.
Any comment?
Separately, can confirm plenty of Dell.com Inspirons do have backlit keyboards, have used one for the last few years

I need three bullet points for a 13 week trip.
1. Lightroom for a ton of photos
2. Android emulator gaming
3. HDMI out since I'll need to run all streaming through VPN
This should hit minimum specs for all that, but I haven't owned a laptop since 2010 or so. How much would this struggle? I'm planning to sell it afterwards for like half so I'm trying to get in a low as I can with adequate functionality.
btw, no backlit keypad.
VA display is not dazzling but it's ok in an interior room.
