Hello,

I allow myself to contact you because I have to change my computer.

I often use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

Would you know if this PC would suit me:

Processeur : AMD Ryzen 5 2500U

RAM installée : 8 Go

Capacité de stockage : 256 Go SDD

Carte graphique : AMD Radeon RX Vega 8

Thank you

      Look at the recommended specs for your programs. Anything less will allow you to run the programs but will not make you happy.

      250Gb harddisk will allow to hold the OS, the programs but not a lot user data. It would be enough for a low end office computer.

      1Tb harddisk is great, but even that Windows 10 handles hd access better than Windows 7, a SSD would be of use. Even that the computer will not get faster (but programs will start faster...), you will have a much better user experience with a SSD.

      probably not.  that's just a weak computer.

      in particular, the rams too little and ssd is too small

      Is this configuration more compatible for smooth use of Adobe software?

      the hd is larger (but slower) and everything else is weak, especially the low ram.  you should have, at least, 16gb ram.

      but if you're not doing any work and are just using that laptop for web surfing and occasional low intensity graphics doodling , both computers would run the adobe programs you listed.
