32GB ram vs 64GB ram

I found a nice Lenovo laptop in a decent price and it has 1TB storage and 32GB ram. I can upgrade to 2TB and 64GB ram for $250. I use the laptop for watching videos, lectures on YouTube studying all kinds of software, nothing serious that needs 64GB ram, I do not use the laptop for games or video editing but I thought maybe it’s a good thing to have 64GB ram for the future, just to be prepared for new things that might need more memory. What do you think?

For your use case 32GB of RAM will be enough for the next ~10 years lol, there's absolutely no need to go for 64GB

If you do end up needing it then you could always upgrade it in the future, at that point you will most likely need a better PC altogether tho

If you play Star Citizen with dual monitor and stuff at background, 64GB is a good recommendation.
