I use Final Cut Pro X on my old 2012 MacBook Pro 13" laptop! Works fine for me, premier is also good but it's a bit more confusing to a new editor. My advice would be get the trials of FCPX, premier, Vegas (that's if your on PC) and give them all a go and find out which one you feel most comfortable.
Everyone has different opinions and we all feel comfortable with difference editing environments.
