The new Adamo will make the old one look like a fatty.
The market for the ultra-thin, premium laptop is small and exclusive. The main players are the Dell Adamo, the Voodoo Envy and the reigning champion, the Apple MacBook Air.
The Dell Adamo, unfortunately, wasn't able to measure up due to being underpowered and overpriced – even when being compared to Apple's product. Dell seems to have gone back to the drawing board and is back with a new version that'll measure even thinner at 9.99 mm (0.39 inches) all around.
Not much else is known about this product this far aside from what we can see from the teaser site. Stay tuned for more.

Not a mm short of 1cm, 0.01mm. Honestly, if you're in the market for a laptop like this then you're clearly far more worried about style than functionality. In which case, you'd be a fool not to go for the MacBook Air. It'd also probably hold its value better too.
Although its already the 10th here in NZ.
If they'd announced it a while ago for release today then it would have been a *big* hit with the Chinese community.
Approximately 1mm. However, since they were comparing it to the MacBook Air, I assumed that it would require and external CD/DVD Drive as well, due to it's thickness (or lack thereof).
1. It needs a quad core processor
2. It needs 8gb of ram
3. It needs a blu ray burner
4. the screen needs to be 1920x1280
5. It needs at least a 9 hour battery
and it needs to batch edit raw files and hd video on the road for me....
I guess that takes me out of the running for this thing.
barring of course the price tag...
