I’m planning to purchase a Macbook Air (M2), and I’m not sure which of the ones above I should upgrade (for future-proofing) on the customization page — I can only afford 1 and IDK which is more important. It’ll be for the usual day-to-day stuff: sheets, browsing, movies, and The Sims 4 lol. No video editing, coding, or music production.
This is the 1st laptop I’ll purchase for myself and I’ve never had any experience with Macs either, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The SoC (system on a chip) is the equivalent of the processor in a typical computer. Upgrading that will improve speed and throughput. The memory is the ram, and upgrading that will improve how much you can do at once without running out of resources. This is especially useful for gaming, video editing, or anything else that uses a lot of memory.
For your stated use case, I would suggest upgrading the SoC. For what it’s worth.
