And with that Dell wants to fight the Air? Did somebody else read anything about the battery? I bet it is not removable...

€dith: Oh, and btw. Normally I'm not so self-righteous but: didn't I effin tell you Dell would do the exact same thing Apple did?

And we don't know if the finished Adamo will have a removable battery or glass display. If it does, at least it won't be as overpriced as a Mac and at least Dell won't try to justify their choices by claiming they want to help the environment, and not assf*** their customers even further.

Oh that feels so effin good to be right.

I thought these new ULV cpus were supposed to be cheap..
And what's the production price for this? $400?

A horrible product (price/performance/usability-wise) that comes in the worst time possible for its release.
Way to go, Dell...

1.2 GHz C2D for 2000$ ?

I guess the Awesomo ain't so awesome after all.

[artissco]

You not paying for speed in this case, you pay for design and brand ( btw it looks great! )

[perkam]

We already have a Voodoo Envy 133...we don't need another one.

One day, I'll go out and kill a designer everytime I read something like this.

One day...

Make that two, the world definitely has too many designers.

True that... but was the Envy like over 2k though?

Depends how you configure it, but in general yes, though the Envy has better specs.

your comments get more and more stupid, it isn't even funny

back on topic: great looking ultraportable, but at this price it'll have no chance to take market share from the macbook air

I guess you guys don't know the secret to buying Dell laptops.

I'll be buying the Adamo from the Dell outlet for $800 in a few months with a 5 year warranty instead of paying $2000 for the retail version.

You'll be buying a 1.2Ghz computer for 800$ in 2009 and you want what? Praise?

He'll be buying "style".
It totally, like, changes things, you know?

[Macadamia]

Well, at 800 it's a comparatively good deal to the Vaio P.

You don't have to duck, a pie has already hit your face.

you guys fall to see what you are paying for, alu unibody, glass led lcd, lipo battery, ssd (we have to see first which one uses) and i bet in 5 months it will cost 1600 1700

I'd buy it.

Well, it seems to be a nicely built thin and light business notebook. I'm looking for something that's a bit larger than my current 12" Latitude D420, which has a 1.06GHz Core Solo, by the way. I don't see what the clock speed has to do with the situation, since I'm targeting mobility and durability. I'm sick of the D420's slow 1.8" hard drive and the SSD should be a nice speed boost. The D420, like most laptops, also has a dim LCD screen, which this should improve on. I was already heavily considering the new Latitude E4300 but had some concerns about its LCD screen.

It's not like I'll be lacking in processor power, since I have a 3.6Ghz Q6600 in my desktop machine. Haven't you guys heard of SSH or Remote Desktop?

I'm avoiding the tomatoes and shoes. Shoes. Ugh.

It's still more expensive then the Air which many (me included) consider to be too expensive. And last time I checked a glass display and a non-removable battery was not considered as a pro argument.

Or is it different when it's not an Apple but a Dell?

the air configured with ssd and ethernet jack costs 2328 and just give dell some time to perfect tooling for this laptop to make it cheaper and i hope the benefits of making de adamo goes down the line with the xps studio and studio laptops

what kind of idiot makes a laptop thats ultra-portable, but the screen has so many reflections you wouldnt use it outside your basement.

i fail to see why you said that.

it is ultra portable and screen is usable i can use it in my classroom, in my room, in the office, in the airpor,t inside the plane, in the car, in the hotel, in a restaurant...

ultraportable doesnt mean you have to stand in the middle of sunlight all day

[thebluemeanie1]

I think Manicdan is talking about the screens that are more like mirrors when there is a dark object being displayed, not about the screen being washed out by too much light.

[Manicdan]

think mainstream, if they want to sell more units, it has to do what people need from it. i sofar fail to see what their market it besides people who want something flashy. i can spend half that price and get something just as good, and spend the 1000$ difference on a really nice chair that will help with the back problems caused by carrying and extra 2-3lbs in my briefcase.
