Which Mac should a designer buy?

Question

macbook

I plan to save up for a MacBook Pro to work with design. Which one do you recommend to take? Is it worth taking the new versions or will the 2015 versions work? If you take from the latter , is it strikingly different to work with 13 and 16 inches in terms of comfort?

Will it be comfortable to work on the 13-inch version with an 8th generation Intel Core i5, for example? Wouldn't want to overpay. It is desirable to meet up to 150k.

I use the entire Adobe suite, Figma, InVision Studio
Less commonly Cinema4D, Unreal Engine 4
Also Ableton Live, FL Studio

Answer 1

2015 is hopelessly outdated. Now for comfortable work you need at least a modern i5 and 16GiB memory. Well, and a fast and capacious disk. Therefore, about a new poppy for 150 tr. you can forget. At best, buy used, but you can find in good condition. Regarding design, I strongly recommend developing an understanding of how and where you will work. Because 13 "is mobility, but the screen is too small for the design. But you can get out with an external monitor. Or look already in the direction of the 16" model ...

2015

Answer 3

About Ableton xs, but Air 13 mid13 with 4GB was enough for me for everything that you have written + Traktor. But no 3D. With an external monitor, of course. Proshki 15 for 2d is definitely enough, I won’t tell you about 3D
