> I didn't enjoy the process of looking through dozens of various lines that Dell has and then other companies like Lenovo and HP earlier in the process, just to find a "mid-range usable computer with a decent screen".

Newegg's feature selector is pretty good at sorting through this. Just uncheck all the bad screen resolutions and CPU models and see what's left. Bonus: Require at least 32GB of memory in an exact power of two, excluding all the junk that solders 8GB to the system board.

It is perfectly possible to have dual-channel 12+12GB configurations and also unbalanced 8+24GB configurations, so your test is not really accurate.

12+12GB doesn't result in a power of 2. 8+24GB does, but there are no 24GB DDR4 SODIMMs to make it with, so that's only possible with DDR5. Moreover, even though that is possible, you can then look at the specs to confirm that it isn't the case, having already filtered out all of the junk where it clearly is the case, e.g. when the machine has 40GB.
