Dell’s ultralight, portable MacBook Air competitor Adamo is back after a makeover. The new Adamo XPS is thinner, lighter and cheaper than its predecessor.
Adamo XPS will have a 13.4-inch high-definition display, Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4 Ghz) processor, 4GB memory and will run the latest Windows 7 operating system. The laptop, which claims the title of the thinnest in the market, is just about 0.4-inches thick and has a full-size keyboard. Compare that to the original Adamo that was 0.65-inches thick.
Dell launched the first Adamo laptop in March. The laptop’s sleek design though came with a stiff price tag. The basic version of the Adamo cost $2,000, while a more expensive model costs $2,700. It also did not have a user-removable battery, which has changed in the Adamo XPS. (See more photos of the Dell Adamo XPS)
With the Adamo XPS, Dell has refined on its earlier product to make it more attractive and less expensive.
Like the MacBook Air, Adamo XPS weighs just over 3 lbs. The Adamo XPS is priced starting at $1800. It still costs more than the cheapest version of the Air, which starts at $1500. But Dell is hoping the Adamo XPS’s sleek aluminum body, and portability factor will make it an attractive buy to those who really want it.
