[#] 6 [Use] Graphic Design and Modelling (CAD/Adobe) [Needs] 
Laptops and desktops both work well for these. Macs tend to be above average in regards to design and other graphical uses. An important thing to note is that some 3D modeling software is not supported on Mac computers, so it is important to check if it is supported before buying a computer. Also, some of this software will require quite powerful GPUs (see GPUs). Laptops are better if you need it to be portable (studio to apartment, etc.).
