Hi! My name is Sumit Kumar...and I am planning to start a YouTube Channel, for which I need to edit my videos (of at most 1080p) in Premiere Pro...I have gone through the Minimum System Requirements.

For the above mentioned purpose, I want to buy a laptop whose specifications I'm listing down below:

RAM: 8GB DDR4

PROCESSOR: AMD Ryzen 5 Quad Core

GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

Graphic Capacity: 3GB

HDD Capacity: 1TB

SSD Capacity: 128GB

Can someone tell me whether these specifications are sufficient for editing my videos without facing lag issues..or should I go for higher options? 

Link to the Laptop described above:

It should edit H.264 at 1080P OK but playing back BRAW and Pro Res at full 4K will not work. You can drop down to 1/4 resolution but even then it might be choppy.

Hi Kev, I know this is an old post but do you know if the 1050 is still officialy supported?
I get driver errors even with the latest driver from NVIDIA:

The problem with your PC is not the Nvidia driver, but the Intel one. That driver is well over four years old! Worse, it is a "legacy" driver, not a DCH driver. Newer Intel drivers are available for the HD Graphics 630 (the 7th-Gen CPUs). Unfortunately, that old legacy driver is somehow complicating, and even blocking, the installation of any newer drivers.

 

As it stands, for your PC you have both a discrete GPU and an enabled Intel integrated graphics processor, which allows you to utilize Intel QuickSync for decodes and encodes. Unfortunately, you never bothered to update the Intel driver since you received that PC.

 

That is exactly why I am strongly recommending that you keep both your Nvidia and your Intel graphics drivers up to date.

That laptop could work with Premiere, but barely. You probably would have some troubles, you would certainly need to use proxies and transcodes for many types/formats of media. It would be pretty slow and yes, laggy.
