You're best off stylizing your post like this thread, so you get a tailored response. From the looks of it, if you're starting a print shop, then no you don't need that high end of a laptop. In fact you can work with something that's half the price. As you expand your operations, you can look towards getting beefier laptop's. For now, you should be fine with a $1200~$1500, IMHO. You genuinely don't need an Apple MacBook in your shop.
