buying a new macbookpro - help with specs

[uvmagnuvi]

Hey community!

I'm looking to purchase a new MacBook Pro to use for my work as a designer. The most common software I work with are Rhino, adobe suit, and Vectorworks. I thought about going with the MacBook Pro 16", and am now wondering on which of the following three I should spend my money on configuration: processor, memory, graphics. I am willing to spend the money on upgrading, but can't upgrade all three to the max, so I wanted to know what is more important for me to spend my money on?

Thank you!

If your software supports gpu acceleration (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator do), I'd put my money on:
1: memory (16GB minimum. I use the 3 apps above, Acrobat, browser with many tabs, Zoom, some utilities... And it does fine for memory. You'll need more if you Photoshop large files.)
2: gpu
3: processor

I'd be interested to hear other opinions on the order though!

If you have plans on connecting your MBP to a display, then the 16" screen real estate isn't your priority. But if you're planning on working primarily with just the MBP's screen, then it's a must.

As for the other three: Max out on memory if you're able to.
