The reason why you want as much RAM as possible is because you'll probably have a bunch of tabs open all the time, multiple programs running and very likely multiple VM's running.
Make sure to check, if you like the keyboard layout and type-feedback. Do you feel like strangling the 1-line Enter designers or are you OK with it? Ctrl on the far left or not (looking at you Lenovo)? Little things like that could really ruin your experience, until you get used to it. But why would you, you are paying for it, get the one that fits you right away.
As for monitor, you want high pixel density. Since this is going to be a laptop with a smaller screen, you probably don't need a 4K display, but you want at least 135 or better 150 pixels per inch. Anything less will look terrible for office work. Smaller pixels look better than larger pixels.
