Not too bad if all you want to do is surf the web or use it to store pictures when on the road.
BUT not sure it's useable if you want to edit, or even view pictures.
I use Elements so not sure of PShop or Lightroom requirements - I have a feeling it will be incredibly slow with any of these three software - assuming they can run with 1MB RAM. This 1MB RAM is probably shared with the video card so you are probably looking at less.
I recently started processing RAW - I use a first generation (old) Core 2 Duo, DPP with 3MB RAM - it's SLOW.
I've never heard of processor in this machine. It's not Core 2 Duo, and 1.6 is slower then mine so it will be SLOW.
I think storing pictures on the road would be primary use.

i view my raw files now on a slower machine with irfanview and do light editing too.
this is a $400 laptop with a 9" screen. let's keep a little perspective here 
.
the real question is would you rather have one of these or one of the new $700 epsons?
