Look at that hinge.
With Windows 7's release just around the corner, it's a perfect time to revitalize the PC industry with both new software and hardware.
Dell is still teasing its next generation Adamo notebook. While the first generation was respectable and solid, it didn't innovate. Dell seems to have saved up all its innovation for the Adamo XPS, which we still know little about other than its intriguing profile.
Everything is still shrouded in secrecy, but we do have two more new images, including one that showcases a radical new hinge. Check it out below:

i rather liked the look of first Adamo with angled edge instead....looks more computer-like than a paper folder....

You mean by using it incorrectly?
Really? There are no internals in that thing? It won't even boot. Wow, that is sure surprising. Silly me I thought that cheap ass used Macbook Air that I found on craigslist was surprisingly useful on trips when I didn't want to lug around the 14.1" T61 or 15" Macbook Pro. I never even realized it wasn't a "real" computer, what work was I doing? (confused)
If Dell wants to challenge Apple's design engineers to a beauty contest, they might get some points, but for producing a slim, light, notebook at that price, it shold have PERFORMANCE TOO, and it falls nearly a full GHz short and lacks the GPU at the same price point. Oh, and no field serviceable components and you can't upgrade the RAM? Not on my dime... I can carry an extra ound of machine and save $1000 (or have tripple the performance for the same money).
Dell probably made a mistake by releasing the shot in that position, the screen is actually the bottom part of the picture, the keyboard is the part pointing up.
So, where are the specs on the new Adamo then, because a couple of execs were interested in this.
I haven't seen anyting on them.
You realize that the standard adamo is meant to compete with the air, an equally useless machine, right? Of course you can get far better performance for less money. Dell sells many laptops that are cheaper and faster. That's not the point of a computer like this.
It sucks.
Dell would get raped anyway
I'm not a big fan of Apple,
but I do like the way everything looks, cept the big mac pro
thumbs up for Apple designers.
Guess thumbs down on my post now eh?
sad
