I get the same option at my work also. Thinking about doing the ips upgrade and backlit keyboard (although I think this one was free this time).
My only concern is the glossy screen. I would...

8GB of RAM is enough for most use cases. 16 doesn't hurt. A better screen - IPS with good sRGB coverage - 92% or close - is what you want for movies. Check notebookcheck for reviews - they do a great...

Thanks! I was tempted by the Spectre, but I think I'd favor the more powerful machine. Also agree on the RAM/Screen upgrades as most important for movies? Again that would get me up to around $630...

I would agree - but note that the Spectre is the best build quality out of all those options, if that matters.

Fair, but unless portability is a key factor, OP's budget goes into a level where he/she can get more bang for their buck, even on the screen, relative to a Pavilion. The 10th gen offers minor to no...

I would go for it over any of the three the other person posted. The 10th gen processor is great and integrated Iris plus graphics are good enough for light gaming even some AAA titles with lowest...

This is not a good deal.
I've seen $500 laptops with better GPU's for gaming.
If you don't care about gaming, the Acer Spin 3 has the same specs (minus the crappy GPU), is an IPS touch screen,...

TN panel, otherwise specs aren't bad. MX250 is not a great GPU but it is better than integrated. Should handle 720p gaming (looks like there are 2 versions of MX250, unsure which one is in here). ...

And that’s because both channels need to be the same, or else the system defaults to the highest channel of RAM?

You can replace the 16GB stick to have a total of 20GB. There would be no difference in performance between 2x 8GB of RAM.
