I currently have a:

Lenovo Ideapad 320 Touchscreen, 15.6-Inch Laptop (Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR4, 2TB HDD, Windows 10 Home), 80XN0002US

Is the laptop powerful enough to run premiere pro or do I need to get another one?

Not really. Its CPU, despite the i7 designation, has only two physical cores. As such, it may have trouble handling even 1080p, especially at more than 30 fps. Furthermore, the 1366x768 display does not meet Adobe's minimum resolution requirement of 1280x800 (and please note that both the "1280" and the "800" must be met or exceeded). As such, the program will launch, but critical portions of the Premiere Pro interface may become irrecoverably hidden.
