Student graphic designer - which Mac?

Hey everybody!

I'm a university student who has two years left in front of her. My laptop is almost the end of his life, and I want to transfer via a certain type of Mac. I do a lot of design work, and as tempting as an iMac, I need it to be portable for my graphic design work of campus.

So I guess that, to start: MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro? Research online, I have done so far, I still see talk about the MacBook Pro, but if there is a case to make for others I would be more than happy to hear them!

Taking the example of the good MacBook Pro, where should I go from there? Obviously being a student and hoping to eventually get an iMac on the road, I'm not looking for the most expensive thing out there (a big reason why I'm looking for a 13 inch instead of a 15-inch.. but I would like to though), so even if I hope it would be a little cheaper than that, lets just use like $1,500 as a max.

When I think about my use of the laptop, what I really use it is Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator (when I hope that this new Mac so I will seek to get the creative cloud), Microsoft Office, Chrome and Spotify. So what should I search for storage and Memory-wise? What 128 vs 256 a big different in my case? What 8 GB vs 16GB of memory?

Sorry for all the questions, but if anyone has answers or other important supplements I should take into account when making the decision, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Consider getting the small screen, then adding a much larger external display (non-portable).

That allow you better portability and always give you a good amount of space on the screen once you have gotten to a workplace or your apartment or dorm.
