For apps like Premiere and Photoshop, there are three significant factors: CPU speed, RAM, and HD speed. Video card won't be a factor.

Both of those have similar-performing CPUs (the Turion might have an advantage someday but I'm not aware of Adobe apps making use of 'em yet).

Both have 1GB RAM (the min I'd recommend).

The Acer has a faster drive though (5400 vs 4200).

And also a larger screen. It seems like the clear winner.
