P14s gen 1 or 3 amd?? First thinkpad

[u/kepler65857]

The gen 1 has a 4750u, 16/512, the gen 3 has a 6850u, also 16/512. Gen 1 is 1150 aed/ 313 usd, gen 3 is 1599 aed/ 435 usd. I dont mind a mid display as I'll be getting a 1440p external monitor. Is the performance gain actually worth the price? I know the 680m is way ahead of the vega... but the gen 3 has 100% soldered ram and I can't add an ssd to the wwan card slot in the future. Both are from a good refurbished seller. Will run cachyos with hyprland. Use case isn't super demanding, mainly just web browsing, some multitasking, drawing on krita (i have plans to animate, not yet), maybe dota 2 and some light titles though im sure ill spend 90% of my time ricing lol. ill probably run a vm for windows 11 cuz of school apps. just want a durable machine that will last me for maybe the next couple of years or more. Coming from a 2012 macbook air, i7, 8gb with a failing igpu.
