Have you read anything about the reliability of this PC? And how well is it supposed to work with graphic projects? If Linux is a PC's operating system, can you load Adobe products?

I have looked at the hardware specifications for the PC and they look very good. I do not think there would be any reliability issue. In fact, because they are using no moving parts I think that reliability would be greater then normal laptops because there is no chance of a fan or hard drive dying.
Currently Adobe products do not run at all on Linux. However, there isn't any reason you couldn't install Windows on this laptop as long as you have an external cd-rom drive.
The reason it comes with Linux is just to cut down on the price of the laptop, and I am sure the linux that comes with this PC also takes up less resources then Windows would.
The one problem with doing graphics with this laptop would be that it will only come with a small hard drive, I think it said between 6 and 8 gigs. Depending on how many pictures you have this might not be enough, however an external hard drive will always work nicely.
