Used Macbook Pro for college

I'm looking for a decent MacBook Pro for my son's media college course.

He'll be using Premiere Pro along with other apps. 

I've found a Mid 2015 2.8Ghz i7, 16GB RAM running a Intel Iris Pro 1536 graphics card, and a Mid 2015 2.5Ghz i7, 16GB RAM running a Iris Pro 1536 & AMD Radeon R9 M370X.  Both are around the right budget, can anyone foresee any problems with either or have any preferences.

As you can probably tell, I'm out of my depth so simple answers would be appreciated...!

Thanks in advance

Those computers have processors that are older than what Premiere Pro requires. 

Not knowing what your budget is, check out this: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-FX705GM-Laptop-GeForce/dp/B07KBBKQ8X/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=gtx+1060+laptop+16gb&qid=1576326216&sr=8-5
