MacBook recommendations for graphic designers/creatives?

I’m an IT Professional with a background in high-end Repro, Print and Design.

Don’t waste your time on an Air. Go for the Pro. Intel i5 or i7 (your choice) with the maximum RAM the one you go for can take and you can afford. 512GB internal SSD is fine but make sure you buy at least 2 larger external drives as well. Use both for backup and storage. 2TB as a minimum should be enough but if you can afford larger capacity ones then do so. I’d go for the 15” model over the 13” one. Adobe CC takes up a lot of ‘display room’ so think about a large external monitor in addition to the Pro Display. Photoshop palettes can stay on that whilst you work on your projects on the larger monitor.

Good luck

You should definitely go with a MacBook from the Pro lineup. These computers are designed for the kind of work you do. As you were working with adobe programs I'd definitely recommend you to pick 16gb of ram. Adobe programs always require a lot of ram so expanding in that area will ease your work flow. As for the processor I'd say that a i7 or i5 would work great, personally I'd pick an intel processor just because they're a little more reliable in my opinion. This one would get the job done for sure (https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/13-inch-space-gray-2.0ghz-intel-core-i5-quad-core-processor-with-intel-iris-plus-graphics-512gb?part=MWP42LL/A#)

Kind of what the, "Pro" in MacBook Pro is all about.
