Looks like our puppy-dog eyes have served us well yet again — we just got to spend some time with Dell’s ultra-hot Adamo. It’s really small, less than an inch thick, we’d say — and although we didn’t measure, we’d say that 13-inch screen rumor was spot on. “Adamo” is actually the brand, like Inspiron — this is just the first machine that’ll be out. We weren’t allowed to boot it up or do much of anything except take pictures, but it’s built really, really, well — and it’s a total smudge magnet, with a super-glossy display and a shiny black panel like the Studio XPS series on the lid. Expansion-wise, we spotted three USB ports and an eSATA jack, and the power adapter is crazy small, with a removable plug for international use. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the Envy 133 with its squared-off shape, but it’s still very unique, and while we didn’t put in any serious time on the keyboard, it felt solid enough. Here’s the problem, though — we have no idea what’s actually inside this gorgeous case, and until we do, it’s just another pretty face. Hopefully Dell comes clean on specs and pricing sometime soon — we’d love for there to be some muscle under that hood. We’re headed back to the trailer to up a video, check back!
