Depends on workload. I have found that my workloads are more accelerated by processing core count, but I build multi-service cloud applications and want to run them locally. If, for example, you run a bunch of Electron apps (Slack, VS Code, etc) and have hundreds of tabs open (I do too) then more RAM helps. Those SSD sizes are more than anyone probably needs unless you’re doing something like high end video editing or pushing huge amounts of data.
