After Effects is not made for video editing. Premiere Pro uses the GPU a lot (it is a video editor).
After Effects doesn’t use the GPU for much. That being said, more and more of the native effects are being GPU-accelerated.
But, for everything that isn’t GPU-accelerated (most of After Effects), CPU clock speed is the most important factor. Get the fastest clock speed you can.
32 GB of RAM is great in a laptop. If you want something more powerful, you should probably get a desktop.
Also, get two SSDs if you can. One for your OS/Apps and the other for AE’s cache.
