What is the best laptop for Photoshop and other heavy programs of Adobe?

(I have Dell Inspiron 5567 now by the way and I know it's not strong enough)

Does it have to be a laptop? They are made to use less power and they deliver less than a good desktop computer. "Best" is a difficult word for buying a computer for Creative Cloud. Some people will spend more than $10,000 to get a high powered computer for their specific work. Some people won't need much. There's a world of difference between, say, creating icons for web sites versus editing Hollywood films.

I know, But iMac is too much for me and what I was recommended is a Macbook Pro 16 🙂

The MacBook Pro 16 is a pretty powerful computer. But beware: the most basic model isn't enough. It comes with 512GB of storage, and that would be a problem in no time. By the time you've upgraded that, an iMac might be competitive on price. One other thing to be aware of: MacBook Pro 16 is designed to work hard and get hot. This is not dangerous, but it means it has a very noisy fan running when you are working hard - and using Creative Tools may do that. Some people are very upset by the loud fan, others don't care.
