Wondering if this ASUS Desktop Computer would run well with Adobe Programs

So I was thinking of getting a desktop computer for my dorm as right now I am using an ASUS RoG 6751JL for all of my Adobe work.

ROG G751JL | ROG - Republic Of Gamers | ASUS USA

The computer I was looking to get is this ASUS Zen AiO: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-zen-aio-23-8-touch-screen-all-in-one-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-128gb-solid-state-drive-icicle-silver/6297693.p?skuId=6297693

It says that it has both SSD and HDD RAM, and I have heard that you can make Adobe Programs run through the SSD instead of the HDD to load quicker.

Would this be a good buy or should I go with something like an iMac?

I am not as "extreme" as Bob, but I wouldn't recommend that AIO at the price that BB is asking for - if only because I see little if any value at all whatsoever in a large desktop PC that actually uses laptop-class components rather than performance desktop components and requires it to be permanently plugged into an AC wall outlet just to even work at all.

In other words, you can do better than that for that price.

That HDD is only a 5400 RPM  and the processor is only 2.2 GHz.

I wouldn't purchase it.

This will run it just fine. Though do go with the 32GB RAM and not just the 16GB. You won't regret it.
