This laptop might function best as a portable, desktop-replacement for basic productivity. Though certainly functional, the best use case is going to be sitting on a desk with an external monitor, keyboard, etc.
Good luck!

1) $229 (New) - Dell Inspiron 15 3520-5850BLK 15.6", Intel Core i5-1235U / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD
2) $229 (New) - Asus ExpertBook B1500CEA-XS53 15.6", Intel Core i5-1135G7 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD
3) $190 (OpenBox) ASUS VivoBook F1502ZA-OS34 15.6", Intel® Core™ i3-1220P/ 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD
#1 and #2 are more powerful but have bad reviews.
#1 and #3 have more powerful 12th gen CPU compare to #2 11th gen.
#2 is more durable but older model than other two.
Display quality (250nits, Color Gamut 45% NTSC) seem to be the same for all three, although some reviews mention good display quality for #1.
Which one to choose base on durability/performance/Display quality? So far I am in favor of #3 (good reviews, bit cheaper,12th gen CPU)
I don't mean to complicate the question you posed, but rather suggest that at this price point, and for use cases where ruggedness is a consideration, I'd personally avoid retail platforms altogether.
Good luck!

I was looking at reviews this one caught my attention as it would likely match my impressions:
The body creeks and pops and the touchpad is difficult to click more then others I have used. The screen looks a little washed out, the speakers are typically bad laptop sounding. The keyboard felt spongy typing

Does this have Xe graphics if I upgrade ram to dual channel myself?
I wonder which UHD Graphics it has, as I recall there are numbers associated to each and not the same on every laptop with UHD Graphics.

Like similar systems, the maximum supported RAM (documented here [dell.com]) is 16GB but you could probably make a safe bet that 32GB would work well.
CPU/GPU details are documented here [dell.com], noting UHD graphics with 64 EUs.
Good luck!
