HP is the most trickiest, which needs to have the sticky thing removed to find the screws. The case is also difficult (very tight) to remove.

By activating IrisĀ® Xe Graphics and dual-channel, you will see the significant benefits anyway.
Here are some fun facts for what you need to fulfill full dual channel requirements:
Requirements for Dual Channel mode
Arrangement of the DIMMs in pairs in every memory channel (module pair)
Identical module capacity of the module pair (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, etc.)
Identical DRAM technology of the module pair (128MB, 256MB, 512MB or 1GB)
Identical DRAM bus width of the DRAMs used on the module pair (x8 or x16)
Both modules either only single-sided (1 rank) or only dual-sided (2 rank)
Mirror-inverted assembly of the memory slots
Please note: Configurations that do not fulfil these requirements, automatically work in Single Channel mode.
The slowest DIMM built into the system determines the pace of the bus clock and the memory access for the complete RAM.
The following requirements within a module pair do not have to be fulfilled:
Same manufacturer of the module or the DRAM devices
Identical timing, access times etc.
Same speed category of the DDR modules (PC2100, PC2700 or PC3200)
Edit:
Did a little research on the Intel XE chips. They use 512MB of the RAM as default, and have access to 50% of the available system RAM. So if you add another 8GB to this laptop for a total of 16GB, the iGPU could use up to 8GB of system RAM in extreme circumstances. I doubt it ever comes close to that unless you use this laptop for gaming. I'm not sure if adding more RAM would benefit by giving the iGPU more RAM, or just going with 8GB would still give you the best performance with full dual channel.
Adding a 8GB stick gives the best value for money (most importantly, 16GB of the total would be running in dual-channel anyway). It should be sufficient for most users (>90%) purchasing this laptop.
If you usually keep 30+ Chrome tabs opened, and watching youtube, zoom, office, ....... all at once, go for 16GB stick.
