Most people in that field prefer a MacBook Pro. But, a Windows laptop should also run the programs you need. I would check with the college first. Many times they will recommend hardware and also have a discount program.

I have used both but the industry standard is a Mac. More than likely your school will use them for their lab classes. Mac are very expensive but they do not crash as often as Windows based machine. Find out from your program which machine they use.

I would say a MAC. Before making the investment, my suggestion would be to reach out to the school where the course is being taken; ask for the graphic design department and find out which computer "seniors" in their program are using. Purchase that one so you can use it in years to come.
