Coming Soon: Dell Adamo XPS!!!
Heavily hyped with more than a few teasers from Dell, the computer giant has finally launched its wafer-slim Dell Adamo XPS in time for the Christmas market. The third in the Adamo series, there’s no doubt Dell’s aim with this machine is to give arch-rival Apple’s MacBook Air a run for its money. And the launch follows in the wake of super-thin machines such as the Sony Vaio X range.
Said to be the world’s thinnest laptop, the Dell Adamo XPS is just 9.9mm thick, and weighs in at less than 1.5kg. The laptop doesn’t open with a conventional mechanical button release. Instead you move your fingers over a heat sensor to release the full-size aluminium keyboard and watch the laptop unfold itself. AWESOME!!! 
Specs pf the laptop are as follows : LED-backlit 13.4-inch, 720p widescreen display, 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ultra-low voltage processor, GS45 integrated graphics, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 128GB thin-micro SSD, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. In terms of connectivity, there’s 802.11a/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, location awareness, DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 ports (one on each side). Other packaged goods include dongles for ethernet and VGA / HDMI, and for an added fee you can nab a DVD+/-RW drive, a Blu-ray drive, or an external hard drive measured at 250GB or 500GB in capacity. There is an option of a 20WHr Li-Ion battery which can last around 2 and a half hours or a 40WHr version which lasts for around 5 hours.
At $1,799, the price isn’t as bad, but it’s still far from great if performance takes any precedence for you over style. The Dell Adamo XPS underscores design innovation and engineering excellence. It’s hard not to appreciate just how thin and good-looking this machine is.
I highly recommend heading over to Dell’s Flickr page to see the notebook from various angles.
