Is the MacBook Pro 13' good for graphic design?

Question

macbook

I just thought about buying a regular gaming laptop, but then I think that that laptop costs as much as a MacBook. But the question is different.
Will 13' fit or do you still need to take 15'?
Will there be a small screen? In the future, I will buy a monitor, but in general, which one is better to take 15 'or until 13' comes down?

Answer 1

Take 15. The more the better. You can work at 13, but you will get tired faster.
In order to work effectively, you need to create the most comfortable conditions.
If there is not enough money for a normal solution from Apple, take something on Windows. Just look not in the direction of gaming solutions, but rather professional lines. Games are more expensive.
When choosing on Windows, pay attention to the matrix rather than performance.
And if there is no question of mobility (working away from home), then assemble a PC and buy a monitor.

Answer 2

No. It's not just about the size of the diagonal. In 13ke, iron is also mediocre.
I recently tried this config. (MB pro 13 2017 256 gb). I also thought that the size is small and will be convenient.
In the end, it turned out to be crap. As a typewriter or home surf laptop, it's very cool, but that's it. It's scary to imagine what the Air line has there))).
1. Very small screen. Eyes are dying to look at everything on the screen, only with an external monitor. 1600 resolutions at 13 inches is still a pleasure.
2. The most important thing is weak iron. Perhaps in the average and maximum config everything is better there (there are i5 processors 4 cores 4 threads, a larger cache and bus, and 4 thunderbolt ports), but the price there is such that it is better to buy 15ku for the same money. but I tend to doubt that the increase in performance for 13ki in the max config is much greater. My config is i5 two cores, 8 ram (this is generally the maximum even in the custom version), 256gb. out of 8 ram 2 goes to the video, and as a result, 6 remains (even in the max config). My setup is an external monitor 27, figma, sketch, two browsers, ps and other little things, everything slowed down a lot, even the system interface, ps barely tossed at all. Ps also needs a scratch disk of at least 256 GB, so you need to take more ssd. The whole thing is still very hot, once every 30 minutes you can hear how the fighter is taking off and the percentage is throttling. There were two such poppies in the office. One for the encoder. Things were simpler there, a couple of browsers and ide, the load was less, but it warmed up just the same, it was even audible from the headphones.
Such is the personal experience.
So in the end, if you are going to take a poppy, then it’s better to take 15k, for example, the 2017 model year, you can take it for ~ 160k (i7, 16ram, 512 gb, radeon 655.).
Windows laptops are cheaper, but much more powerful. You can meet 120k, i7, 16 ram, ssd 512. Of course, you’ll have to look so that it doesn’t look like Optimus Prime in design))) as a poppy technique, of course, it’s very nicely done, you can’t say anything, but it costs unjustifiably.
