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?

In case color is important for you then you should know that Dell is ready to offer you both the Studio XPS 13 and 16 laptops in white. Dell has brought the color back after discontinuing it a while ago. If you’re ready to pay $40 for an “Arctic White High Gloss” hue then go ahead and order your new Dell Studio XPS laptop now. In case color is not that important then I’m sure you will be able to invest that extra $40 in something more useful.

Future buyers of Dell laptops will have the possibility to add a 256GB SSD to their chosen configuration. Dell will offer the new SSDs to those buying a new XPS M1330 or M1730. The upgrade will cost you $400. If you want a smaller SSD, say the 128GB then that upgrade is also available for just $200.

For everyone that’s been holding their breath and waiting, the good news arrived this morning. Dell has finally started the large-scale production of the Dell XPS M1330. The XPS M1330 will be shipped beginning this week to all regions.

Earlier, there has been some issues concerning the Dell XPS M1330 specially with regards to its LED display that added time to the estimated ship date.

The shipment for the XPS M1330 was delayed for several reasons. This includes the time it took to ramp production on the new product, issues such as part shortages, technical glitches, simple cosmetic issues, and other unanticipated issues that can arise when mass production starts.

But now, the wait is over. The M1330 that was clearly built with an emphasis on good looks and clean lines is finally on its way. It will be sporting a 13.3-inch screen, configurable with a LED backlight. It gets its muscle from its Core 2 Duo processor Santa Rosa chipset with up to 2.4 Ghz of power. Additional specs are its 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and an external video memory coming from NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS which generates up to 128MB dedicated memory.
