I got a pre-built gaming PC and it's been the absolute best decision. It runs worlds faster than my 13 inch MacBook air. Can have multiple Figma and Illustrator files open at a time without any delay. It has 32gb ram but that's definitely more than you should need

I have a 3 year old 16" Macbook Pro with 32GB memory. I am able to run Figma, Sketch, Slack, and a double digit number of browser tabs without issue (though Figma does sometimes strain things).
I'd ask for more memory and a large external monitor.
If you are working from home, just get a desktop for power. Laptops running with Intel chips seem to be barely running since Adobe optimized for the M1 chips.

A desktop is incongruous to a mobile lifestyle tbh. My 2019 MacBook Pro running on a 2.3ghz 8 core i9 Intel chip with 16gb of ram and doing just fine.
