Answer Details

(a) For office-based designers, a desktop computer is most suitable. [1]

Desktops can be fitted with large, high-resolution monitors (or multiple monitors) which are essential for viewing fine details in graphic design work and working with accurate colours. [1]
Desktops can be equipped with powerful processors, large amounts of RAM and dedicated graphics cards needed for running demanding design software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. [1]

(b) For designers who visit clients, a laptop is most suitable. [1]

Laptops are portable and lightweight enough to be carried to client meetings, allowing designers to present work and make changes on the spot. [1]
