What kind of a computer did you buy when your eye is on the bottom line and you didn't give a damn about aesthetics? No brainer: Your top choice was a Dell.

Amazingly slim. Gorgeous screen and, for the most part, attractive design. Sturdy build

Difficult to open. Keyboard backlighting ineffective at many angles, making it difficult to read the keys. No memory card slot

It is interesting to see how Michael Dell built up his company from its early days in a garage, and the Dell Adamo is one of the best looking notebooks the company has produced in recent memory. While Dell did spruce up their line over the years with ...

Join us in this special edition of ZoneOut as we fiddle around with the stylish Dell Adamo and pit it against the equally elegant Apple MacBook Air. If your only burning question is whether the Adamo is really the MacBook Air killer, then wait no ...

So yes, no tech specs (surprise!) and no full video review of the notebook other than our quirky take on the Dell Adamo. While we understand some of you may want a review of the unit in video form, we hope you will still enjoy the following mini ...

Tired of seeing one professed Apple MacBook Air killer after anotherthe Lenovo Thinkpad X301, Voodoo Envy 133, and Sony VAIO VGN-Z590, to name a fewDell decided to offer its own take on what a luxury brand should look like. The Dell Adamo (derived ...

Jaw-dropping design. Incredibly thin. Very nice glass screen. 128GB SSD is standard with this price. Embedded mobile broadband. Excellent typing experience. Illuminated keyboard

Expensive, for now. Nonremovable battery didn't impresson battery life tests. ULV parts aren't for performance seekers. Too heavy for a luxury ultraportable ; Watch the Dell Adamo

The Dell Adamo lives up to its name in design, but with its lackluster performance and battery scores, it isn't for performance seekers.

Dell's luxury notebook, the Adamo, is spunky--I'll give it that. The up-and-comer packs on ports...and takes some not-so-subtle jabs at Apple's MacBook Air. Neither company really positions its ultraslim ultraportable as a high-performance hot rod. ...

Large, sleek and comfortable keyboard Beautiful-looking screen

Underpowered CPU Extremely pricey

Of course, there's the design itself. As slim as the Adamo is (13 by 9.5 by 0.65 inches and weighing 4 pounds), it's still a bit boxy. Hey, that's not a knock. After all, just about every laptop is a little on the square side (even Macs, until pretty ...

With a chassis measuring just 0.76 inches at its crest and an innovative unibody design, Apple's MacBook Air broke ground in the high-end, ultra-slim, and super-refined laptop...

Seductively slim ; gorgeous aluminum and glass motif ; decent performer (as ultra-thins go)

Pricey ; dearth of ports and no optical drive ; battery not replaceable by user

In these economically troubled times, Dell thought it prudent to release a hideously expensive luxury laptop to compete with Apple’s MacBook Air and HPs Voodoo Envy.

Wafer Thin, Gorgeous, Solid Build

Poor Performance, Expensive, Heavier than Air

The starting price for this thing of beauty is $1,999, but if you feel like splurging you can upgrade to a 1.4GHz processor and two more gigs or RAM for $700 more. Obviously it’s not performance you’re paying for with the Adamo, but its incredibly ...

From the beginning, Dell's Adamo line of laptops have been anything but status quo. Starting with the company's viral "leaks" on phony fashion sites, straight on to the weird launch / non-launch at CES, and culminating with a burst of PR boasting ...
