The best laptop is one that works!
No, but seriously, I think any of the Apple laptops will work perfectly fine for design.
I'm writing this on a 2006 Macbook Pro that I also use for design work.
While not ideal, I can do pretty much anything I need. I can even do some basic Cinema 4D work, though not a lot.
Photoshop, Illustrator, etc... run perfectly fine without any issues.
Even the lowest priced Apple laptop today is better than this one.
Get the best you can for the money you have.
Like I said, I've had this one for 8 years and It's still chugging along.
I should probably update soon though! :-P
