Mac for Photoshop, Lightroom and ocassionally PP

Hi there,

I would so appreciate some advice. I am sorry. I am not that technically minded when it comes to computers!

I am trying to configure a new Mac as my iMac has died. I principally use Lightroom and Photoshop occasionally editing in PP.

Below are the options I am faced with, I have put the options I am thinking of going for in red but as I say I really don’t have much of a clue.

At some point I might need to upgrade it to be able to edit 4K but not yet.

What options would people go for? I would so appreciate any advice.

Thanks you in advance 🙂
