That laptop will play Skyrim ok since Skyrim doesn't have a beastly specs requirement. The weakest link I see in that laptop is the graphic card vram. If you decide to add a ton of high-rez textures then your 1gig memory limitation will start showing. Anyways, as is, you can play Skyrim alright.
I'm playing Skyrim on a 512mb video card (HD5470m), and it works fine on medium settings, with the occasional lag spike. So I don't think it will be too much of a problem unless you expect to run it on high or ultra.
