I suggest you talk with someone who knows computers. You have to know what apps you need to run, how much data you will be creating, portability needs, preferred screen size, preferred weight. . . .

I know that you should not get a computer with minimum specs such as 128 GB storage or less that 16GB RAM. I would never recommend a modern computer with less than 512 GB storage. If your apps will not run on a M1 Mac I you should get an Intel Mac.

None of us know your needs.

Some Thoughts:

Get a computer that suits your needs, and meets your satisfaction for use. Get a laptop for mobile usage. Get a Quad Core Processor and high RAM, if looking to perform multitasking. Get an SSD (Solid State Drive), as it is less prone to failure. Get 128GB of storage for personal use, but go higher if for school and work usage.
