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....

    Looks like you could easily break it by resting your hands on the keyboard...

    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)

    Hmmm... I'm wondering how cutting off all circulation to your legs could possibly be comfotable. This is a "Lap"top, right?
