Dell unveiled its Adamo range of ultra-thin, exclusive laptops on 17th March. Actually it was unveiled at the CES in January, it was only a demo. Now, you can preorder the Macbook Air-killer. The word Adamo comes from Latin and literally means “to fall in love”. And the name just seems to suit it perfectly because once you see Adamo you’re going to completely fall in love with it! The Adamo starts from $1999 and is targeted towards the upper end of ?laptops from Dell.

By introducing Adamo, Dell plans to enter the lucrative markets that were once ruled by Apple’s Macbook Air.

The laptop is just 0.65 inch thin. Adamo by Dell is a range of laptops just like Inspiron and Studio XPS.

The Adamo looks sleek and shiny. The screen is glossy which I don’t like much. Instead I prefer matte screens as they’re less imposing on the eyes.

Dell’s consumer product marketing head has indicated that there are more Adamo randed devices on its way – but right now he declined to publicize what was included and what wasn’t.

The craze nowadays seems to be towards ultra portable laptops because there are already too many of them in the market.

Sony has its own Sony Vaio P-Series Lifestyle PC. Sony is notorious for charging premium prices for mediocre laptops as can be seen from the exhorbitant prices of the P-Series laptops – there isn’t even a touchpad. The there Asus Eee PC. Heck even Dell has a Dell Mini 9.

Should you get an Adamo? Well if you’ve got enough cash to show then go get one! But if you are a regular user (like student, developer or a writer) then you may be better off buying a PC that is well worth its money.

Dell has introduced 2 base model – black and white/silver. While black is good I’d go for White as the aluminium?chassis?looks ways cooler than the black brushed one.
