  • 1.9 GHz Intel Core i7-8650U Quad-Core
  • 8GB of RAM | 256GB SSD
  • 13.5" 3000 x 2000 PixelSense Display
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU (2GB GDDR5)
  • SDXC Media Card Slot
  • USB Type-C | USB 3.0 Type-A
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi | Bluetooth 4.1 LE

I'm feel like i'm compromising on screen size but the value is good.

can you afford 16gb of ram?  8gb is inadequate for graphics work.

can you afford a better graphics card?  PassMark - GeForce GTX 1050 - Price performance comparison

it'll run.

how well it will run depends on what you're going to do.  eg, your graphics is not strong for video editing.

Thanks!

I'll be using mostly Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects. I won't do video editing but i'd like to use some 4D programs for modeling and sculpting still images.

check the recommendations for using cinema 4d.  that's likely to be the most demanding program you're planning to use.
