    It also depends upon what kind of applications you are going to use for designing purpose.

    Example:

    After Effects System Requirements

    Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements

    Photoshop system requirements

    ..........................etc

    Not going to promote any specific brand , but make sure the laptop  meets system requirements for the application which you will be using.

    It is better to purchase latest version hardware llike

    i7 or i5  7th or 8th Gen processor. Quad Core

    min 6 or 8 MB Cache,

    Intel turbo boost technology 2.0.

    Usually I dont recommend you specific brand , as I haven't used all of them to differentiate the performance between all.

    You can also go for Macbook , which will be better choice , if you are comfortable using Mac:

    Buy MacBook Pro - Apple

    or Dell XPS:

    XPS 13 High Performance Laptop with InfinityEdge Display | Dell United States https://www.dell.com/en-in/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/new-xps-13-laptop/spd/xps-13-9360-laptop/a540034win8

    HP:

    13 Inch Laptops

    As mentioned in above you can also go for Acer :

    Laptops | Acer

    Lenovo

    Windows or Mac?

    What's your budget?

    What kinds of projects will you be doing on the laptop?

    Which apps will you spend most time using? Audio/video are generally the most demanding.

    Look at the min-requierments to run Creative Cloud + your OS + your apps + services + utilities.

    Keep in mind that these are minimum requirements.  If you do much graphics work, you'll need a lot more physical and RAM memory.

    Adobe Creative Cloud system requirements
