Dell’s slimmest laptop so far, the Adamo XPS, has posed again for the camera. We still don’t know if Dell is ever going to launch the laptop officially but it would be pretty interesting to see it in action. We’re still curious to see what kind of battery Dell would fit into a case that’s just 9.99mm thick. Who would want a laptop with a poor battery just because it’s the slimmest in the world? Would you buy a Dell Adamo XPS if you had the chance? Or would you go for the MacBook Air instead?

The stick you see in the picture here is not a stick but it’s a future Dell laptop. The teaser picture has been released yesterday but it’s no wonder people missed it since everyone was thinking iPod thoughts. There are no details about this MacBook Air-like computer as Dell wanted to tell the world about it precisely on 09/09/09. It must have something to do with the fact that this Adamo is only 9.99mm thick. We’re not going to go into the whole numbers and their signification. After all nobody wants to turn those 9s into 6s and start thinking unholy thoughts.

Getting back to the laptop in the picture, we can expect it to cost a lot more than we would normally want to pay for a laptop running laptop and we can expect it not to impress us in any way. What do you say Dell? Can we be wrong?

Don’t get too excited folks since the Adamo is still an expensive laptop. But Dell decided to reduce its price. That’s a little late considering that Apple has announced cheaper prices for its MacBook, including the direct competitor of the Adamo, the MacBook Air.

Dell is offering you an impressive $500 off the original prices. The cheapest Adamo is now available for just $1,499 while the most expensive is going for $2,299 after the price cut. Still expensive? I told you so!

Sure you could always choose one of its direct competitors, the Adamo from Dell or one of the X-Slim laptops from MSI, but for those of you with a bigger wallet, the Air is probably the best way to go.

Apple decided to offer everyone a $300/$700 price drop depending on what model you choose but the MacBook Air it’s still expensive with prices starting at $1,499. The cheapest version will offer you a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 9400M graphics card and a 120GB HDD. For $1,799 you get a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 9400M graphics card and a 128GB SSD.

We were waiting and waiting and Dell decided finally to launch its first laptop in the Adamo line. And in case you were expecting a cheap MacBook Air competitor then you should keep on waiting.

This Dell Adamo will cost you about $1,999. You get a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive. Yeah, we were expecting more too! The chassis has been built from a single sheet of aluminum, which sounds too familiar. You can pre-order the Dell Adamo today and you’ll get it on March 26. What do you think? Will you get one?

The last we heard of a release date in terms of Dell’s Macbook Air competitor, the Adamo, was sometime in February. Well, February has came and gone and still no Adamo, so what gives?

If a recently spotted ad on Google’s Irish website is to be believed, the Adamo could possibly be released tomorrow, St. Patty’s Day.

The ad, pictured above, specifically states “Discover the love story on 17/3″. So what does this mean? Will we see the Adamo up for order tomorrow? Let’s hope so.

Ok Dell, we get it! The Adamo is going to be part of our future. Those robots have tried their best to come up with an extra slim computer. And we get it, you have a hot notebook so why not to tease us while you can. But how about actually revealing some detailed details? You know, like features, prices and arrival dates. Will the Adamo come with Windows 7 on board? And since we’re talking about extra slim computers here, shouldn’t Apple release a second Air? What about HP? Anyone working on a similar project over there? Teasers will just make us mad…

While we’re still waiting for Adamo to compare it with the Air other manufacturers could be already designing even slimmer laptops. And Intel has decided to be prepared for them. The company has announced two new processors made with ultra-thin notebooks in mind. These are the 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo SU9600 and the 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500. We know they cost $289 and $262 respectively, but we don’t know when they’re coming or what will be the first laptops to use them. But we’re certainly looking forward to see who’s going to be the first manufacturer to snatch them.

The Adamo is a very well known laptop around the world so far. And that’s because of all the buzz. Everyone has been talking about it before, during and after CES 2009. And Dell failed to announce it in all its glory. Sure the laptop got mentioned but nobody knows what’s inside and how much it will all cost.

And Dell has decided to update the site dedicated to the future computer but there’s absolutely no info for us. What we know now about the Adamo right now is no different compared to what we knew yesterday. We don’t want to see the site getting fancier, we want to see the laptop getting really announced.

So we’ve seen the Adamo from Dell. We didn’t have time to start dreaming about it as we had to check out Quanta which is said to have an ultra-thin notebook in the works. Great! We’ll be able to choose one from these two. Is anyone else designing an ultra-thin laptop? We’re all going to replace the Air which we’d love to buy with an Adamo or Quanta laptop, aren’t we? It looks like Quanta’s notebook will have a thickness of only 1 to 2 cm and it will come with an entry-level price. No pictures for now, but we expect them to arrive soon. It was time for Quanta to start making its own computers and it’s a great idea to start with an extra-slim laptop.

So should we expect the Air to become more customer-with-a-budget-friendly?

Dell Adamo is among the first laptops ready to battle that MacBook Air. And Dell decided to finally reveal its true beauty. There aren’t any specs yet but we know the Adamo comes with two USB ports, a DisplayPort, and an Ethernet port. All of them are situated on the back of the laptop. We’d love to see some of those inner features. After all those will count a lot when deciding to buy one. And since it seems that the Adamo is working, why not release it already? We assume the Adamo will be extremely cheap compared to the Air, right?

We’ve shown you the MSI X320 just before CES. It’s a new device from MSI, and although it’s ultraportable, the X320 is a 13.3 inch laptop and not a netbook. The X-Slim series is schedule to arrive in April and fight against the MacBook Air.

Unfortunately for some, the first version will come with an Atom processor inside but MSI will be releasing a higher-end notebook soon which will come with a genuine Pentium processor. That means more power for your work and gaming support. The Atom-based X-Slims will cost just under $1,000 while the Pentium-based X-Slims will cost more than $1,000.

What will you choose? The Air, the Adamo or the X320?

To tell you the truth I’ve been curious on how the new Dell laptop will look like. The Adamo has finally been unveiled at CES but we can only tell you so far that it’s thin and black. We don’t have all the specs yet and the laptop will only be launched sometime in the first half of the year. Quite disappointing for all the potential customers isn’t it? And we don’t have any prices either.

The other notebook announced was a netbook actually, the Dell InspironMini 10. Now you can choose one of three netbooks the company has to offer. The Mini 10 will get you a Z530 1.6 GHz Atom processor, 3G WWAN, GPS and 802.11n support and a multitouch trackpad. And Dell has some accessories for these notebooks. These are an USB digital tuner for getting OTA TV broadcasts and a new Wasabi handheld printer.

Still disappointed about the lack of details for the Adamo…

Ok guys and gals, since we’re waiting for Dell’s Adamo to arrive and potentially kick the Air’s arse we could use some more competition in this exclusive thin laptop niche. MSI has decided to join the party with its latest laptop which is the ultra-thin, 13.4 inch X-Slim 320. It measures 1.98cm in thickness and it weighs just 2.87 pounds. Will it fit inside an envelope? Probably yes!

The other features you might be interested in are the 4 or 8 cell battery that lasts up to 10 hours, the 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, the 1366 x 768 resolution, the maximum 2GB of DDR2 RAM, the 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi support, the Bluetooth and 3.5G network card, the three USB ports, the Ethernet port, the VGA output and the all-in-one card reader.

Did I just make you ponder about getting one? Well it’s going to cost you around $800 when it arrives in the second quarter of 2009. Hopefully CES 2009 will add more details about this thin MSI.

I guess we’re all curious about the future Dell Adamo. The laptop said to compete against MacBook Air is going to be revealed at CES 2009. Right Mr. Dell? Until then we’re trying to get as much information about it as possible. A Google cache shot of Dell’s website made people think that the Adamo will come with a DisplayPort and an option for a 2x Blu-ray combo drive. Other choices include a 250GB or 500GB internal or external SATA drive and an auto/air power adapter for using your Adamo while your drive or fly.

Did that get your attention? I know I’m looking forward to testing one of those Adamos.

Dell’s Adamo notebook is already making us wonder what a MacBook Air competitor will look like and it seems that Sony wants a piece of our minds. Sony has a new laptop coming on January 9th. And it’s just might be one of those rumored Vaio netbooks we’ve been hearing so much. The teaser site available only at Sony New Zealand for now claims that the new laptop will “change the way you look at laptops.”

What laptop are you more interested in? Dell’s new Adamo or Sony’s new Vaio?

Dell Adamo is the future competitor of Apple’s MacBook Air. The web is filled with news confirming the existence of Adamo. The thin Dell laptop will come in black and silver and it might deliver a blow to Air sales.

(T)hat rumored Adamo is very much real, and very much like what we’ve been hearing. Apparently the device — which the company plans to market as the “world’s thinnest laptop” — was slated to be released this month, but has been pushed back till at least February….(A)nd we’re told that it’s most definitely Dell’s play to nab some of that MacBook Air marketshare.

The teaser site it’s up and running, if by running you understand a single static page. Will Dell reveal the Adamo at CES 2009? Will the thin laptop be ready by February?

There’s this little teaser site with Dell written all over it that says a future laptop is going to be even lighter and thinner than the lightest of them all so far, the MacBook Air. Is Apple ready to get a competitor for that share of the market?

The Adamo might be the future laptop of choice for someone interested in an Air-like experience. What we can say for sure is that Dell’s version of a thin laptop will be way cheaper than Apple’s Air. We have no idea when this notebook is going to be released but we’re hoping 2009.
