Will this work for me?

I have an Adobe CC subscription and want to buy an affordable laptop. But before I do I want to make sure that Adobe CC will run on this. (I also want to install Cinema 4D)

Lenovo 14"  Flex 5 Multi Touch 2 in 1 Laptop

• 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-7500U Dual-Core
• 16GB DDR4 RAM | 512GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD
• 14" 1920 x 1080 Multi-Touch IPS Display
• Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620
• 4-in-1 SD & MMC Media Card Reader
• Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) | Bluetooth 4.1
• USB Type-A | USB Type-C | HDMI
• Windows 10 Home (64-Bit)

Help is much appreciated!

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.

Cinema 4D could also use a better graphics card...

Finding the right laptop is a tiring and endless process!

and it's expensive (compared to a comparable desktop).

if you can do 75% (or more) of your work at home and the reset away from home, you can get a much more capable setup if you get a killer desktop for your majority of your work  and get a middling laptop for when you're away from home.

you're looking at a marginal laptop which will very disappointing when working on video, 3d etc.  it's either not going to handle complex task or will take so long it will be frustrating.

a decent laptop for video and 3d is going to cost, at least, 1500.

Only if you start at the low price point.

I'm gonna go with the Microsoft Surface Book 2

• 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
• Detachable Design
• Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)

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
