Hi. My company is considering MacBook pros to replace our iMacs so we can be more mobile. What specs on the MacBook would be required to run photoshop, illustrator and indesign without issue?

if you were on the Apple site and were building a Macbook Pro for yourself, how would you configure it? i don't want to under order and then not be able to upgrade.

To be honest, I would probably get a good Windows DELL laptop instead of Apple. More bang for the buck.

That said, these the 9 best rated laptops for Creative Cloud users.

Best advice, buy what you can afford.
