Upgrading Question

[dpark120]

So I am thinking of purchasing the below macbook pro. I want it very powerful as I will be using it to edit high quality film. I'm thinking of upgrading the new macbook pro myself to 16 GB memory and a 1TB SSD storage. Is this a bad idea or a waste of money? I just don't want the memory and storage to slow down my performance when using the editing software.

13‑inch MacBook Pro

• Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU, 8‑core GPU, and 16‑core Neural Engine
• 8GB unified memory
• 256GB SSD storage
• 13-inch Retina display with True Tone
• Backlit Magic Keyboard - US English
• Touch Bar and Touch ID
• Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports

The RAM is integrated in the SoC. The SSD is soldered. You can't upgrade it yourself. You must BTO from Apple.

It's not a bad idea. Just one that you can't do anything about.
There's no replaceable/upgradeable memory slots, and you can't upgrade the boot drive that the m1 comes with.
Buy it with the configuration that you think you will need.
