Laptop upgrade for After Effects

Question

Hello everyone,
 
I need some advice.
I'm thinking about upgrading, currently working on Surface Pro 7+ (Intel i7 11th Gen and 16GB of RAM) but the challenge is that they're really expensive. i love the Surface Pro and would want to stick to it.
 
My question is, what would make a difference in AE:
- upgrading from i7 11th gen (4 cores) to i7 12gen (up to 10 cores) (this means upgrading from Surface Pro 7+ to latest Surface Pro 9) (with 16GB of RAM)
or
- upgrading from 16GB of RAM to 32GB of RAM (the same Surface Pro 7+ with i7 11th gen).
(latest Surface Pro 9 with 32GB of RAM is too expensive)
 
Thanks,
Marek

Hey Marek,Could you let us know what type of projects you usually work on? Sharing the kind of source files, composition resolution, bit depth, effects, and number of layers you work with can give us a better idea of what you're working with. The recommended system specifications are eight or more cores with 32GB of ram. You can also check out this article by Puget Systems for hardware recommendations. I am moving this post to the Video Hardware community. The community experts can weigh in and give you more precise recommendations. Thanks,Ishan
