Laptop that will be capable of comfortably working with CAD (Illustrator, Photoshop and possibly AutoCad)
hi guys
I'm looking for some advice here for purchasing a laptop. I have a friend who is a fashion designer and will need a laptop which she can use to work with programs like Illustrator and Photoshop and some 3D modelling.
Her budget will probably be set to around £1,400-1600. It shouldn't weigh more than 2.5kg and that's probably the heaviest.
I was looking at the following:
Lenovo ThinkPad P53s Core i7 8565U 8GB 256GB SSD 15.6 Inch NVIDIA Quadro P520
13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with Retina display
I'm even looking at Dell laptops too.
The thing is, she won't be using any of this for gaming. So I also don't want to get her something with too much overkill.
I just wanted some thoughts about any recommendations you guys might have regarding the above information?
Thanks for helping

Thank you all for responding.
Serialband, it will be for personal use so not on corporate network.

For the CPU, would you rather go for something that has hyper-threading?
