This deal for $699 matches Apple EDU, the 512GB is great but if you want 16GB of RAM you'll need to order through Apple or a retailer that allows custom orders.

You _can_ add external storage (less of an issue on a desktop computer but still not ideal). You_cannot_ add external RAM.
Beware the brainwashed masses who will wave their hands and tell you that 8GB of RAM is magically somehow "better" because it happens to be soldered onto an Apple SoC rather than onto a removable module inserted into a Dell/HP/Acer/whatever.
There is no magic that makes 8GB of RAM in Apple products any different than 8GB of RAM in anything else. It's the same RAM chips! Apple does not make RAM chips.
Anyone who smugly pipes up with "Unified Memory" as a counterpoint doesn't at all understand what that marketing term means (spoiler: it's shared memory with quick access, not _more capacity_) nor how RAM works in general.

Oh wait...

If you are doing regular stuff, email, browser, office. 8GB is just fine.
Even if you are doing light adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere (1080p) it is fine.
But as another poster said, if you are working on 4k video, multiple tracks, 3D, or other high end intensive work, yeah get 16GB and at least 512 (if talking M2 for faster storage).
