I shoot a Panasonic full frame, weather sealed camera. My partner shoots in a canon m5. We both shoot in the rain and nothings happen to her camera. Weather sealing is nice to have if you constantly shoot in adverse conditions, most cameras survive light rain.
All macbooks should be strong enough to run photo apps. Adobe apps are just poorly optimized, I also use capture one and affinity photo and both are significantly faster on my m1 mac than the Adobe apps.
