Asus' G51J: Affordable Core i7 Mobile Gaming?
Mobility and gaming have been at odds for a long time, but Asus thinks its G51J could be the solution. With Intel Core i7 Mobile CPU technology and Nvidia’s recent GeForce GTX-260M, is this mid-sized, mid-priced notebook too good to be true at ~$1,500? Read More

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 don't like that sharp edge...reminds me of Mac Air...
i rather liked the look of first Adamo with angled edge instead....looks more computer-like than a paper folder....
It's so sexy... *drools*
Looks like you could easily break it by resting your hands on the keyboard...

You mean by using it incorrectly?
its a fashion accessory not a real computer, just like the air
Unless i can shave with it, I don't think I would use it that much, honestly.
what im wondering is where is the space for the internals i just dont see where they would put them.

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)
Slim? Yes. Sexy? No.
Hmmm... I'm wondering how cutting off all circulation to your legs could possibly be comfotable. This is a "Lap"top, right?
Sure, sexy it might be (to some), but it's far below the performance of a comperably priced Macbook, has piss poor battery life (unless you buy the extra, much heavier battery, making it heavier than the Air), comes with an external optical drive, cheap integrated graphics, can't push 1080p, and I could go on. For a $2000 machine, it's barely much more powerful than a netbook, which though having a smaller screen, weighs less and is certainly more portable (and less fragile).
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).
Forget cake, this thing could slice a Macbook Air in half.

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

I'd love it...
I'd just sell it though and buy something like a 17" Dell Vostro...
The first seems sexier to me though...
Fashionistaaaa!
it looks good, but it'll be powerless.

Wrong, it quite clearly is the right way up, and Dell showing their usual stupidity, unless it is a titanium case/hignes i would not want to use this ever for fear of breaking it.

...Poor guy still thinks a mac is a computer.
...Poor guy still thinks a mac is a computer.
You are the poor. Search in wikipedia what computer is
fragile thing. but these things are mainly for show only - like those thin fashion models. you download and play videos there (the dells, not the fashion models) and hope your friends notice it. but don't work with that thing. prefer something more rugged and sturdy.
Unless i can shave with it, I don't think I would use it that much, honestly.
you mean, like all Macs?
this thing could use a few cialis tablets.
So if PCs grew arms and legs like autobots, which would win? This or macbook air?
I could be wrong... but I SUSPECT that it's not a radical new hinge you're seeing... but a laptop that's been stood on end, with the display holding the keyboard section vertically in the air.
Maybe because they thought it looked cooler that way... maybe to confuse people.

Neither. A full tower desktop would come along and destroy both of them.
