What configuration to buy?

I want to buy a Macbook, I'm torn between:
16GB vs 24GB RAM

512GB vs 1TB storage

M4 air vs M5 air

or look into getting a used M1 Max 32GB/1TB for 1000-1100€ or M1 Pro 16GB/512GB for around 800€? (an MBA M4 24GB/512GB is 1100€).

I need it for: school, Xcode, Android Studio + emulator, web dev, light Docker.

Hey, I'm looking for a budget ergonomic chair (>300 euros). I've been looking at the Ticova, ProtoArc EC200 and the Colamy Atlas, should I go with one of these or are there any other underground brands?

So I'm planning to buy a Macbook but I'm torn between multiple options. I will be using it for: normal use, web + software development, Xcode, Android studio, VScode, I don't use docker all that much. I've been eyeing an M4 Air 24gb/1tb (I don't see a point in the M5 as I'm more likely to be bottlenecked by RAM and not the CPU, and the power adapter not being included is weird, so basically +200€ for ~performance). Is 24gb RAM enough for this? No video editing/prolonged heavy use, and since build times are not that long, probably not much thermal throttling => I don't see a point in the Pro. Thanks for any tips/thoughts.
