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.

Thank you,
Another dumb question, anyone happen to know if this can be charged thru a usb-c power bank?

Supposedly it cannot be charged via the usb-c port.
For true backlit go get a refurb.
At $3xx corners going to cut for display, features, build, condition
