At the very minimum, you will effectively need a 6-core/12-thread 8th- or 9th-Generation Intel Core i7 mobile CPU, or a 4-core/8-thread 10th-Generation Intel CPU, plus at least 16 GB of RAM, an internal SSD plus external USB 3.2 Generation 1 or 2 SSDs, and (preferably) a GeForce GTX 1650 mobile GPU in order to handle Premiere Pro smoothly. Unfortunately, that config will cost you more than $1,000. Anything that costs less than that will come with either too weak of a CPU or an outdated or nonexistent discrete GPU or too little RAM , making video editing an exercise in frustration.
