Dell Teases With Ultrathin Adamo XPS

On the same day that Apple did not announce a tablet, Dell released a teaser for themselves, a profile shot of the new XPS Adamo, at 9.99mm or 0.39-inch half the thickness of the MacBook Air, which itself is only 0.76 inches thick.

Although Dell has not officially judge to release other information about the name of the new ultraportable will combine it cusotmers likely to go to learn more about design than performance maintenance. But will it sell?

Remains to be seen how powerful and attractive Adamo XPS will be to consumers. The first notebook Adamo was thin, but hard, and it’s battery life was clouded a little. We are not convinced that people pay for ultra-ultraportability if they get one more, but only slightly larger system (such as the Lenovo X200) for less than one large one.
