I’m planning to buy my first MacBook during the Black Friday deals. Honestly, I’m not sure how to choose the right configuration. I don’t want to add features I won’t need and end up paying a lot of extra money.

Chip (Processor): 20, 32, 40 – core GPU
Here, I don’t know how to choose the right GPU. I use my current laptop for Microsoft Office, internet browsing (searching, YouTube, Netflix), MATLAB & Python, email, and messaging apps like WhatsApp. I don’t think my use of a laptop will change much over the next 5 years.

Memory: If I choose 40-core GPU (max), I can have from 48 Gb. Isn’t that enough? But then I don’t know if I need 40 GPU
-
Storage: 1TB SSD — should that be enough? My Windows laptop has a 512GB SSD, and honestly, I’m not sure since I use cloud services to store my files.
Could you please guide me in the world of laptop configurations? How do I choose the right configuration without overpaying for unnecessary features?
