All PCs aren't limited to AMD. When memory is low, performance drops significantly. Using single-channel only reduces efficiency by about -10%. Memory capacity should always be greater than speed, then dual-channel.

It's actually more about capacity, dual channel, and memory speed. Dual channel at 2133MHz feels similar to a single channel at 2733 for me.

Absolutely, I found out the same thing on my laptop (Asus Vivobook 15 M509DA). It only has one RAM slot, the other is fixed into the motherboard. I plan to install an 8GB RAM at the same 2400MHz speed.

It's that one. Unless you're willing to go crazy and use a 16GB drive, then an 8GB one is the best option you can have.

The cost gap between 8GB and 16GB is around $30. Worth it depends on your needs, and the extra capacity may not always matter if you don’t use much more storage.

It's a good deal, $30 isn't expensive. $65 for 16GB is quite affordable. You'll likely need that amount eventually, perhaps within the next couple of years.

Removing the back panel and altering the RAM might cancel the warranty.
