Both of them would fall well short of Adobe's minimum practical performance requirements to run Premiere Pro at all. In fact, the first one would not even run Premiere Pro at all because it has far too little total system RAM. Adobe recommends 16 GB or more system RAM for even HD editing, while 4k will need 32 GB or more system RAM.

With that said, even though it is way short of ideal, the second configuration is preferable between the two since not only it does have a lot more total system RAM installed, but the 8th-gen mobile i5 will likely be a quad-core CPU with hyperthreading (all U-series Intel CPUs up to and including the 7th-Gen, such as the i7-7500U, are only dual-core CPUs with hyperthreading which you do not want at all for video editing).
