Dell launched a teaser site for the newest revision of the Adamo series of laptops, Adamo XPS. The site features little more than a picture of the ultra-thin device and the tag line reading “Crafted to fall in love with at 9.99MM.”
Let’s take a second to do the math: at 9.99MM the Adamo XPS aims to slice the Macbook Air (19.3mm) in half at their respective thinnest points. A remarkable feet no doubt, but Apple took heavy criticism for the features it removed to make Air the thinnest laptop available at the time. One must be wondering, what could possibly fit into the Adamo?
Dell insists this is merely a “design concept” and is holding out on technical specifications and details until a later date.

Im sorry but I cannot forgive dell after buying out alienware and completely screwing up the alienware prices/specs. This may be something Dell has done that is finally usefull but other than that - dell sucks cock.

You forgot the most important thing in Mac Book Air's failing the price. If Adamo is $500 I would consider buying it.

Unfortunately, when competing in markets like ultra thins and all in ones where there is little to no competition, even prices from dell aren't cheap. Their last Adamo was priced at $1499, the same price that apple recently reduced the Macbook air to. As much as I dislike apple, in this market segment their prices remain competitive, exorbitant, but competitive.
