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

hi guys<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
I was looking at the following:<br />
<br />
Lenovo ThinkPad P53s Core i7 8565U 8GB 256GB SSD 15.6 Inch NVIDIA Quadro P520 <br />
13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with Retina display<br />
<br />
I'm even looking at Dell laptops too. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
I just wanted some thoughts about any recommendations you guys might have regarding the above information?<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
