Just how thin is Dell's new Adamo XPS laptop? By the looks of things, you could drop one off a seven-story building, go grab lunch, pick up that gallon of milk you promised you'd bring home, and return in time to catch the laptop before it floats to the ground. Ever seen a notebook after it's been flattened by a steamroller? Neither have we, but we imagine it would look a lot like the Adamo. Think Nicole Richie post The Simple Life but pre-motherhood (actually, you're probably better off if you don't picture that).
Think we're exaggerating? We'd be skeptical too, if Gizmodo hadn't managed to snap a couple pics of Dell's upcoming ultrathin, which is supposed to be about half as thin as a MacBook Air.
Still no other details just yet, including finalized specs, pricing info, or a concrete release date.

I wouldn't consider laptops to be Dell's area of expertise >.>
But, it's still kind of cool.

Meh, the problem is, these laptops will never strive... I mean at 1400$ for a decent build... they break, they heat up, they are degraded - come on people open your eyes!
PS: HP is building a laptop thinner than that or perhaps as thin - and it's probably better, Dell kinda sucks. MPC prolly made an article about it, in fact Im sure they did, I think I read it.

Didn't the Macbook AIR heat up like the sun because of it's ability to disperse heat? If this says anything about the Adamo, then it won't be terribly different from the AIR unless it's running on super gimped hardware, methinks.

If this thing can run open office, firefox, Plants vs. Zombies, peggle, come with at least 32GB of HDD (I am going to assume this thing is solid state) and be less than $500 I want one. I think my $500 budget will prevent me from getting one though. I have a feeling this will be just like the macbook air. Really really cool and tiny, but probably less powerful than a netbook and more expensive. But my hopes are still up.

OO, Firefox, PvZ, Peggle: Maybe, Yes, Maybe, Maybe (performance wise)
32GB: The current Adamo already has a 128 GB SSD, so maybe
$500: LOLWUT (The current Adamo starts from $1200 US, Mac Book Air even more so)
