Is it stupid to buy a 128gb MacBook Pro M5 Max if I don’t really know what I’m doing?

Just based on the title, the answer is yes, but I want to double check. I’m learning to code still but want to become a hobbyist/tinkerer. I have a gaming laptop running Windows that I’ve done a little bit of AI stuff with, but it’s a few years old and has minor issues. I’ve been working a second job to save up fun money, and I can nearly afford the new Mac if I really wanted it. From what I’ve gathered, it can’t run the top models and will be somewhat slower since it’s Mac architecture.
