Limited memory? Won't it take up to 1GB of memory? Isn't that plenty, even for Photoshop?
Yes.
And people are using Photoshop very happily on PowerBooks with the same disk drives.
Hell, people are editing commercial movies with Final Cut Pro on Powerbooks with slower CPU's, using the same drives.
And then there are the people who insist that PS needs dual processors, twelve terabytes of memory and the fastest drives in existence so they can do a 5-pixel gaussian blur.
As I said in the first place, it depends on what you're doing with Photoshop...if you're touching up photographs you took with your digicam the Mini is overkill...people were doing that with 266 MHz iMacs.
I saw an article some time ago about a photographer whose setup is a view camera with a digital back connected to his TiBook, and this was in the 400Mhz TiBook days.
He was raving about having his 'darkroom' *right there* at his fingertips immediately after catching the picture, as it allowed him reshoots if needed.
IIRC the camera back was something like 16 or 20 megapixels...maybe higher.
