Laptop Specs - Can This Thing Cut It?

Hello, great and powerful Adobe community.  I'm hoping someone can help me evaluate the laptop specs below.  Our ITS department is offering this as a multimedia workstation for low to mid-intensity production (Premier, AfterEffects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)  Seems underwhelming for a multimedia workstation, but looking for another opinon.  Is this thing going to choke playing an unrendered video project in real time?  What could be improved here to make this into something that can deftly handle low to mid-level intensity A/V editing and large graphic design files?  I'm thinking 32MB of RAM is a no-brainer, but not sure how the processor or graphics card rates.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

HP ProBook 445 G9

CPU: Ryzen 5 5625U

RAM: 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200

Asked about the graphics processor specifically and was told this (below). The fact that it's integrated and shares memory seem like red flags.

    It won't be useful for After Effects:

    Premiere Pro will struggle with 4K:

    The hard drive is too small if you plan on storing media there.

    Thanks, Bob.  I appreciate the advice.  The GPU seems to be the biggest issue.  Seems like I really  want a dedicated card.
