At least 16GB of RAM
Budget 1000-1500 euro
Apple products are known to be good for photo editing. The new M1 chip from Apple is also built into the new MacBooks. You can watch a video on YouTube and see for yourself.
Can I sign 100% of your budget like this.
With your budget, I would take a closer look at the MacMini M1. With the MacMini you have an advantage over the MacBooks through the use of external screens.
The P3 color space is nice, but with a good 100% sRGB BenQ, LG, or budget Eizo you can achieve excellent results for the web.
Otherwise, if it has to be something mobile, I would take a closer look at the M1 MacBooks, as mentioned. There you will be well served and have enough performance for all your projects.
The chip easily calculates image files in the middle GB range (8-18 GB) without any problems when using filters and the like. The export is just as rapid.
If it should be Windows, then take a look at Dell's XPS series. You will be served just as well.
