Hi guys! I'm starting film school this semester and I'm looking for a new laptop. I found the Lenova Yoga Pro with AMD Ryzen 7, 32GB RAM and
AMD Radeon Graphics. Is this good or do you recommend another? I can't seem to find which graphic card would be preferable and wether AMD Ryzen would be as good as intel I7. Thanks in advance for answers!

The biggest problem with that laptop is the complete lack of a discrete GPU. Instead, its "AMD Radeon Graphics" is actually embedded inside the CPU package and relies entirely on the installed system RAM. Unfortunately, although Premiere Pro supports OpenCL GPU acceleration on paper, that API itself chokes the performance life out of Premiere Pro, resulting in that laptop performing no better than a much cheaper Intel i5 CPU with that CPU's integrated graphics (however lousy it performs on its own).
