The PBP, despite its "Pro" suffix, is still a lower end general purpose laptop. Doing high grade Photoshop work or sound engineering might require more horse power and connectors.
Just my 0.02€.
If the GPU in it supports OpenCL, then GIMP should be quite snappy. Even my old core 2 duo laptop (which could be even slower than the SoC in PBP) was flying with GIMP 2.10 when I tried it with proprietary Nvidia drivers that supported OpenCL via a CUDA wrapper. I'd be more worried of the situation with RAM, but it should be fine unless your project is huge.
I know the chip in it has quite decent video decoding capabilities, and I hope it can encode as well.
