i5 = highest core count, no hyperthreading
i7 = highest core count, hyperthreading
generation is every 1-2 years years, every generation has 1 or 2 numbers (but they follow the numbers for simplicity so even though 8 and 9 series are both 8th generation they are called 8th and 9th).
13xx14xx = 2023/24
12xx = 2021/22
11xx = 2020
10xx =2019
08xx09xx = 2017
Each gen generally has a new socket, so they are not upgradable to new gens, but they are upgradable to Xeons in the same gen.
The big gen shifts were 07, when it went to DDR4 ram from DDR3, and 12 when they started using P and E cores and can use DDR5.
Only complaint was that it didnt' come with wireless but a low profile card from Amazon and some more RAM made it work great for a computer for the garage.

If you go with this have some thermal paste on hand though, for whatever reason sparkle decided you need to remove the GPU heatsink to swap to the low height bracket
My eyes have been on this Yeston GTX 1650 "Single Slot King":

It fits the profile - Low Profile, True Single Slot (No protrusion), Board Power.
Per some reddit discussions, it's a beast in these Dell SFF devices. Double the price ($200 vs $100), but also theoretically double the performance too:

I'm tempted to buy a SFF to build a retro gaming PC 🙂

I've bought two laptops from Dell Refurbished. 1st one was specified as quailty B and arrived in like new condition. Worked great for years then I sold it to buy another laptop. 2nd laptop I purchased from Dell Refurbished was purported to be quality B but came with a broken left touchpad button and one of the filthiest keyboards I have ever seen (it was chock full of dead skin, human hair and food crumbs). I returned it to Dell for a full refund (they also, of course, paid for return shipping), but this experience wasted over 2 weeks of my time (waiting for laptop, receiving it, then having to drive to UPS store to return a poor quality product).
If it's a good deal I might give Dell Refurbished another try, but based on my 50% bad experience I have some doubts about their refurbishment process.
