Upgradable 8GB RAM for NB, which one is the best upgrade?

Need advice from our fellow IT experts.

I plan to get a new laptop that will last and fit me low-end needs, mainly for word processing, some statistical analyses for research, virtual meeting when needed, and playing LINE Brown Farm in Bluestakes 5. Great sale going on right now and after extensive research I have my eyes on this Lenovo TB that fits my tight budget.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 1 82LX0067TW(N6000/4GB/256GB/W11)

IdeaPad 1 15IGL7 82LX0067TW

●CPU Intel Pentium Silver N6000 (4C / 4T, 1.1 / 3.3GHz, 4MB L3)
● 4GB Soldered DDR4-2933
●RAM: Up to 12GB (4GB soldered + 8GB SO-DIMM) DDR4-2933 offering
●HD 256GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe 3.0 NVMe
●Screen: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) TN 220nits Anti-glare
● Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
● 11ac, 2x2 + BT5.0
● Windows 11 Home

I understand with a 8GB RAM upgrade, this new machine would make me happy. Being non-IT, I don't want to get the wrong one. So I check in with your guys before I place my online order. I don't know the differences between the DDR4-2666/3200 & 1.2V or 1.3V but I didn't find any 8GB DDR4-2933. I am not sure if DDR4 3200 is preferrable to DDR4 2666 either.

I spot this Kingston DDR4 3200 sale (8GB, 1.2V, KVR32S22S8/8). Will this one work?
(Is this one the same product? Same KVR32s22S8/8 with different product picture)

Or is this one (Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-2666 8GB KF426S15IB/8) better?

Which is the best Kingston 8GB RAM upgrade among all these DDR4 selections?

1. Kingston DDR4 3200 sale (8GB, 1.2V, KVR32S22S8/8)
2. (Is this one the same product? Same KVR32s22S8/8 with different product picture)
3. this one (Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-2666 8GB KF426S15IB/8)
4. Kingston DDR4 3200 8GB KCP432SS8/8
5. Kingston DDR4 2666 8GB 1.2V (KCP426SS8/8)
6. Kingston DDR4 2666 8GB 1.2V(KVR26S19S6/8)

Thanks for the input!
