photoshop on a Samcung NC10?

or similar netbook with the Intel atom processor.

Anyone running this, am thinking it would be nice to take on hols as a storage and processing engine.

I'll be watching this one with interest, since I have an NC10 (which I think is superb), I've thought about putting photoshop onto it, but decided I'd put Elements on it instead which would be adequate when away from home.

Is the NC10 the one with the ghastly glossy screen ?

I'm teetering on getting the new Asus Eee 1000HE - which I know will run Portable CS3 from my Sandisk Cruzer.

However, in my experience, the screens on both machines are not good enough for anything but checking composition / viewing images before wiring them in, for example.

Photoshop itself is not that power hungry if you avoid the more complex stuff like liquify etc. If you are using it for simpler stuff like colour correction, RAW conversion, cropping etc BUT if that is what you are using it for then it does seem rather a waste. The license does allow you to install the software on a desktop and laptop so if this is the reason then fair enough otherwise I would just stick LR2 on it.

I did run CS2 and CS3 on a 1.33GHz iBook with 1.5Gb of ram quite successfully whilst out and about so I would suggest that for the simpler stuff you should get away with it.
