Is i5 7th gen 7200U and nvidia geforce 940mx 2GB GDDR5 with 16gb ram a good combination for running premiere pro cc 2017 smoothly?

It's a Dell laptop INSPIRION 7460.

    I doubt you will be happy with that i5-7200u CPU as it is only two cores.  I have a laptop with a i7-4700HQ 4-cores and it works well with CC 2017.

    It all depends on your media and what you are doing with it.

    Well mate SSD or 7200rpm is ACCEPTED. HANDS DOWN.

    I will mainly work on HD 1920x1080.

    And mate As far as i7 4700hq is concerned it's 4 cores. Agreed. But it has

    a Graphics i.e. Intel HD graphics 4600. This is an older graphics version

    than the minimum requirement of 5500 which is recommended on the premiere

    cc system requirements webpage.

    The Graphics in i5 7200U is HD 620 which is the latest. And don't have a

    mention on the list.

    I suppose that the combination of i5 7200U and 940mx 2 GB GDDR5 will be

    better than 4700 HQ. AND 16GB Ram and SSD should be a lot.

    I still have a Macbookpro Intel core 2 duo i7 , 4 GB RAM, that runs FCP 7

    really smooth.

    But BIG HUG for the inputs. And please carry on the Discourse I would love

    to hear more views on the matter. Before I go for the Purchase.

    Fortunately, I do not have to rely on an Intel GPU I have an nVidia GTX 765M on this laptop.

    How many and what kind of drives?

    Only one 5400 RPM hard drive... absolutely not

    SSD boot drive and internal 7200 RPM drive for files... depends on what you are editing
