I'm looking to buy a new laptop, seen this one https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-5-a515-56g-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-512-gb-ssd-silver-10216776-pdt.html

which fits all the requirements as stated on adobe's site

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/system-requirements/2021.html#gpu-acceleration

apart from the graphics card, it has the 2gb VRAM but isn't on the recommended list 

 

Is it compatible or should I get something else?

It will just be significantly slower.

You should get something else:

 

The MX350 is a gimped GeForce GTX 1050 series laptop GPU with half the memory bandwidth and both hardware decoding and hardware encoding disabled during manufacture. Therefore, you will be forced to use the integrated Intel graphics for QuickSync hardware decoding and encoding, or be permanently locked to software-only decoding and encoding, depending on whether the Intel IGP is enabled or disabled in that laptop.

 

What's more, the GPU-accelerated rendering performance of the MX350 isn't very good, being marginally faster than a GeForce GT 1030/MX330 but significantly slower than a true GTX 1050 laptop GPU.

Ah okay, thank you for your response by the way I really apprectiate it 

 

So does this mean it wont work at all? Or will it just be slow? Because I'd only be using this to edit smaller projects at home, when doing big ones I'd probably work with an editor and use their software

 

I just need access to Premiere at home too I don't mind if it's a little slower

 

Thanks again
