Regarding the RAM, remember that each display uses some so if you anticipate having two or three displays in the future you may want more than if you will only have one.

In the US, if it is a business expense you should probably be planning for a max 5 year replacement cycle.
This is the depreciation lifetime defined by the IRS for computers. At that time you can sell for whatever and begin the cycle again.
If I understand it correctly you would not benefit from holding onto it for an extra two years.

True. However, I generally take all my depreciation in the first year of ownership. I pay off my purchases immediately, and so I prefer to get the full amount of depreciation in the first year. Either way, I plan for at least 5 years of use and hope for 7.
As I usually do, but I financed my Studio on an Apple Card because:
1. 0% interest during the payoff period
2. Cash back for Apple Purchases
It is a way to get a discount on Apple Products.
