9.9mm Thin Dell Adamo XPS Notebook Discontinued

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,

The thinnest notebook to ever hit this world has just died - or discontinued. The Dell Adamo XPS has just vanished from the Dell website and it was only available for about three months. Dell still deserves a round of applause for shocking everyone with a 9.9 mm thin notebook though. Maybe Dell will reveal an even thinner notebook in the future but for now the Adamo XPS is gone and will slightly be missed.

13.4-Inch Dell Adamo Notebook Now Starts At $999

Posted by Unknown Labels: , ,

The Dell Adamo is a pricey MacBook Air competitor, or at least it was. Dell has thankfully cut the base model price of their Adamo notebook so it's not just $999. This will get you a 13.4-inch WLED display, an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.4GHz CPU, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 128GB SSD, and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). You can step it up though to the $1,799 model which will give you a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a $256GB SSD. For comparison's sake, this is $500 cheaper than it was in October. Check it out on Dell here.

Dell Adamo XPS Exclusive To John Lewis In the UK For the Holidays; Starts Shipping in the US

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , ,


If you live in the UK, you won't find the Dell Adamo XPS on their website this year. That's because it will actually be an exclusive to John Lewis department stores for this holiday season. It'll likely be available on their website next year, but for now you'll have to fork over £1,750 ($2,850 USD) to get one of these. That's the base model too.

Update: According to Engadget, the Adamo XPS is actually starting to ship and arrive at their destinations. It might not be hitting absolutely everyone who pre-ordered but just know that Dell is starting to ship them out as we speak. It's an early Christmas present for you.

Dell Adamo XPS Expected To Ship On December 22nd At the Earliest, Available Now For $1,799

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , ,


Although it was supposed to available alongside the Windows 7 launch (October 22nd), clearly that didn't happen. The latest news states that the earliest shipping orders will hit your doorstep is December 22nd, which is just three days before Christmas. I guess it's a small delay to pay when you're dealing with the thinnest notebook in the world (9.99mm thin).

Update: According to Engadget, the Dell Adamo XPS notebook is now available for sale with a base price of $1,799 USD. This notebook has: a 13.4-inch WLED display, an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.4GHz ULV CPU, a 128GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 2MP webcam, WiFi, and a couple of USB 2.0 ports. Check out Dell's website here.

Three Dell Adamo XPS Prototypes, One With a Multitouch LCD Touchpad

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , ,


We all know about the 9.99mm thin Dell Adamo XPS notebook, but do you ever wonder what it could've been? I like to see company prototypes and this is probably one of the most interesting ones. Apparently, Dell's prototypes for the Adamo XPS actually included multitouch capacitive LCD touchpads - as you can see above. Another prototype is the red one below that actually had the notebook's ports in a "pop-up panel."


The last prototype, below, actually has capacitive touch buttons and Dell decided not to go with this design because "people wouldn't react well to a keyboard that doesn't move" which is pretty true.

Dell Announces Adamo XPS To Be Available Before Christmas For $1,800

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,


Even though we heard that it'll be available on October 22nd, Dell has just issued a statement that they will launch their Adamo XPS before this Christmas with a base price of $1,799 USD. Expect to find: an LED-backlit 13.4-inch (720p) display, an Intel Core 2 Duo ULV 1.4GHz CPU, integrated GS45 graphics, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 12GB SSD, Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi 802.11 a/g/n support, two USB 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort, a standard battery long enough to last around 2 hours and 36 minutes (extended battery lasts around 5 hours and 17 minutes) and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on the Adamo XPS.

"Other packaged goods include dongles for ethernet and VGA / HDMI, and for an added fee you can nab a DVD+/-RW drive, a Blu-ray drive, or an external hard drive measured at 250GB of 500GB in capacity."

Check out the Engadget link below for a bit more information about the unboxing and two videos.

Dell Adamo XPS To Unsurprisingly Launch With Intel ULV Options

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , ,


It looks like we've just got some more information about the extremely thin Dell Adamo XPS notebook. We;re hearing that this notebook will be outed with a range of Intel ULV options from the 1.4GHz to 1.9GHz clock speed ranges. We're also hearing that it comes with: a 13.4-inch display, 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel GMA 4500 graphics, 128GB / 180GB SSD options, and a standard battery that should last 2.5 hours / extended battery that should last 4 hours. We already know that this notebook will have a base price of $2,000, so it's a pretty expensive ultraportable.

Update: Engadget points out that you actually can't open this laptop if the battery dies since it uses that heat / touch-sensitive strip.

Dell Adamo XPS Shows Itself Live and In the Flesh

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,


It looks like this is one of the first photos online of the Adamo XPS open and showing its pretty self for you. The thing is that I still don't know where the battery on this notebook is. And no, it's not available today even though we heard last weekend that it would be. As you can see it has a chiclet keyboard and a touchpad. Gizmodo mentioned that this notebook is surprisingly quite sturdy and they actually put up a video of how to open up the laptop.

Dell Beefs Up the Specs On Their Adamo Desire; 2.1GHz ULV CPU, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 and 256GB SSD For $2,300

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,


The original Dell Adamo has a high-end model, the Adamo Desire. Before today, that notebook came equipped with an Intel ULV 1.4GHz CPU and a 128GB SSD - it costed $2,299.99 USD. Well, starting today - for the same $2,299 price tag - Dell has upgraded the specs of the Adamo Desire to an Intel ULV Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz SL9600 CPU, a 256GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). That's a pretty sweet deal - considering what you were getting before. Check it out here!

Dell Adamo XPS Launching October 22nd For $2,000; Has New [Automatic] Lid Opening Technology

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,


Dell's latest ultraportable notebook, the 9.99mm thin Adamo XPS, is expected to start at $1,999.99 USD and will be available starting this Thursday, October 22nd with Windows 7 pre-installed. We've just found something interesting about this notebook though. Business Week is reporting that this notebook features "a heat-sensing strip on the lip that, when swiped with a finger, glows white and automatically opens the aluminum lid." I guess this means that it's too sharp to open normally - y'know because it's so damn thin.

Dell Teases Yet Another Side Photo of the Adamo XPS Notebook

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,


I don't really have much to say here, but it looks like Dell has teased yet another photo of the Adamo XPS for us. Yes, it's really thin - probably thin enough to cut any robbers that try to steal it from you. This would be an awkward way for the Adamo XPS to sit on your lap... Where's the battery at?

Extremely Thin - Under 1cm Thin - Dell Adamo XPS Shown Off; Also Unveil $5,000 Adamo Special Edition

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , ,


Dell has just shown off the Adamo XPS in the wild and it is damn thin. At just 9.99mm thin (0.4-inches), it explains why they purposely leaked the first side-profile photo of it back on September 9th (09 / 09 / 09). This notebook - that doubles as an expensive frisbee - will supposedly feature SSD options and an Intel ULV CPU of some sort, due to its thin nature.

Dell wasn't going to stop there. They also unveiled a new "special edition" of their original Adamo notebook (below). As you can somewhat see, the back of the Adamo 13 lid has a "Swarovski Crystal-embedded sterling silver snake." If that's your thing you might want to join the auction because I believe they're only making a few (possibly even just one) of these. The bidding will start at $5,000 USD.

Dell Teases 0.39-Inch Thin Adamo XPS Notebook

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,

The picture above may not look like anything big, but that's because it's a thin side profile of Dell's new upcoming Adamo XPS notebook. This seems to be the world's thinnest notebook to-date. It's thinner than the MacBook Air, it's thinner than their current Adamo, and it'll also be thinner than Sony's 0.5-inch thin Vaio X. This is the Dell Adamo XPS notebook that measures in at 9.99mm thin, which is just 0.39 inches. Since it's part of their Adamo line-up, it'll be quite expensive, especially since it has "XPS" in its name too. Thin is in.

Dell Slashes Adamo Price Tag to $1,500, Now Matches MacBook Air

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , ,

The Adamo is Dell's answer to Apple's MacBook Air and it had a questionable launch due to its underwhelming spec sheet and its overwhelming price tag. Today, Dell has cut the price of their low-end Adamo, which sports: a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD, to match the entry-level 1.86GHz MacBook Air. The Dell Adamo is now going for $1,499 USD on Dell's official website. The higher-end model has also dropped to $2,299 USD, but it still costs a chunk more than the high-end MacBook Air model which goes for $1,799 USD. The high-end Adamo model is equipped with a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, a 128GB SSD, 4 GB of RAM, and 3G support.

Dell Working On Cheaper Adamo Models?

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , , , ,

According to Digitimes (the go-to rumour source), we could see cheaper Dell Adamo models in the near future. The current Dell Adamo is all looks and no performance (for its price), kind of like how I view most of Apple's products. Apparently, Dell is working on a cheaper Adamo model. If these rumours are true, then it could be the Adamo 9 that was accidentally leaked about a month ago. This new model is expected to be cheaper and will utilize Intel's new CULV (ultra-low voltage) processor. This new Adamo model is expected to ship by this August.

Digitimes also mentioned that Toshiba and Lenovo may also be using the Intel CULV CPUs in some of their future laptops.

Dell Adamo 9 and Studio One 22

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , , , , ,

So, we finally know a bit about the Dell Adamo 13 and also the Dell Studio 19. According to a recent slip-up by Dell themselves, we can spot 2 more products from Dell that are on the way soon. The Dell Adamo 9 is a possible netbook running XP (hopefully) and it looks like they're also preparing a 22-inch model to their Studio One all-in-one computer. It'll be interesting to see what both of these products look like. I'm excited about the 9-inch Dell Adamo with a cheaper base price.

Details On The New Dell Adamo

Posted by Unknown Labels: , ,

The beautiful and new Dell Adamo will be released later today for $1,999.99 and while this may be an attractive price for some of you, wait until you see the spec sheet. So, the Adamo 13 will sport a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo U9300 processor with just 2GB of DDR3 RAM and it also has a 128GB SSD. I guess it will be running on Vista since it's not a netbook. By March 26 these babies will be shipping to their rightful owners. I hope that there are some more Adamos revealed in the new feature, especially one with a more attractive price and spec sheet. That $1,999.99 price tag is not looking so attractive now with that lackluster spec sheet, is it?

Dell Adamo Available Today

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , , , ,

Dell has just confirmed that the 13-inch model of their new Adamo-branded laptop will be available sometime today. The Adamo is a whole new line of computers similar - but also extremely different - to the Inspiron lineup. The Adamo looks to put fashion and style back into Dell laptops and the first model will be available sometime today for $1,999.99 USD. This Apple Macbook Air competitor is supposed to be more affordable than the MacBook Air, so we could see a more affordable notebook in the future. By March 26 the aforementioned Adamo will be available in 24 countries, including the US. Nice move on Dell's part to place this launch right in time for the iPhone 3.0 OS event today. Details and spec sheet will be available later on today, so just keep in touch.

Dell Latitude E6400 XFR, Android Dev Phone Version 1.1, New Dell Adamo Teaser Video

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

This is the Dell Latitude E6400 XFR rugged laptop that looks just about bulletproof. It's pretty thick, 2.2-inches to be exact, and weighs 8.5 pounds. There is no word on the price (Update: starts at $4,299 USD) or the availability, but it is apparently 15% thinner and 5% lighter than the last Dell Latitude XFR laptop. The laptop itself has a sunlight-readable WXGA display and inside you get Intel's Core 2 Duo "paired up with both a 256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M and an integrated 4500MHD." In Engadget's post, it looks like there are a couple of errors, one being a "265MB" graphics card and also a "1.41 WXGA display". I'm going to guess that the decimal place should be slid over to the right one spot, making it a 14.1-inch touchscreen sunlight-readable display.

Version 1.1 of Android is now available to developers. The unlocked and updated version of the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream has many new OS updates. Some of the OS updates include: "Support for Search by Voice, Priced Apps, Alarm Clock Fixes, Sending Gmail freeze fixed, Fixes mail notifications and refreshing intervals [and] Maps now show business reviews." Now, while it says that you can download apps, you won't be able to download free or paid apps if they contain "copy protection" which is a large portion of all of the apps. The new device will go for at least $400. If you live in anywhere outside of the United States you're looking at "anywhere from $77 (Japan) to $198.38 (Canada) [more]." I don't know why it has to be so much more expensive in Canada, since US is just south of us. Talk about greedy.

Dell has just released their new teaser video for their MacBook Air competitor, the Dell Adamo. I'm not going to spoil the video for you, so just scroll down and hit play. It's uber sexy!

MSI Gaming Laptop, Internet Explorer RC 1, iLife '09, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, The Sims 3 Delayed?

Posted by Unknown Labels: , , , , , , , , ,

I lied, sorry. As of right now, there will be at least 3 blog posts today. Just because i love writing blogs. =D.

First off is the MSI gaming laptop, dubbed the GT627. This laptop will be packed with a six-cell battery, "an optional Blu-ray drive and a Core 2 Duo CPU." Along with these features, the laptop itself will have a 15.4 inch screen with a 1680 x 1050 resolution. "It's also the first MSI laptop to feature the 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS GPU, and there's even a 320GB HDD, 4-in-1 multicard reader, twin USB 2.0 ports, HDMI / VGA outputs, gigabit Ethernet, a two megapixel webcam and an ExpressCard slot to round things out." To end the epic spec sheet off, this laptop will weigh around 5.8 pounds. This MSI gaming laptop is packed with a bunch of good features, as you can see. The red outline on the laptop is kind of annoying though (visual-wise), for me at least. I like the Dell Adamo's looks better than this, but that makes sense, since the Adamo is all about the looks.

Internet Explorer's RC (Release Candidate) 1 is now available for download. If you follow my blog, you will know that i'm not too fond of this so-called Internet Explorer. But, just because i'm in a good mood today, i'll summarize PC World's review of Internet Explorer RC 1. Basically, RC 1 fixes all of the bugs in Internet Explorer Beta 1 and 2. Internet Explorer RC 1 is pretty much the code for the final release and it runs faster than Beta 2. If you are going to download the RC 1, just remember that the normal precautions apply, much like anything else pre-released. Just download Google Chrome or Firefox, seriously.

If you have a Mac, you should mark tomorrow on your calendar. iLife '09 is going to be available tomorrow. iLife '09 was presented at the slightly boring Macworld 2009. iLife is "Apple's bundled application suite that brings facial recognition to iPhoto and piano and guitar lessons to GarageBand." "A new license will set you back $79 [USD], unless you bought a new Mac after January 6. New user upgrade's are going for $10 [USD]." So, iLife '09 tomorrow. Go get it, if you want to.

If you are waiting for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the Nintendo Wii and DS / DSi, i have the release date for you. It's not too far away. It's release date is actually under 2 months into the future. March 24 will be the release date. "Echoes allows Wii and DS gamers to play alongside one another with a bit less hassle than the original Crystal chronicles."

Just in case you wanted to get EA's 'The Sims 3' it may be delayed. The Sims 3 was scheduled for a February 20 release date, but on its official web site, the date now says "TBA." A recent EA statement also hints at a possible delay. The Sims 3 is "already so close to complete it's hard to imagine the company delaying it for very long." So, it may be delayed, but you probably won't have to wait too long. On the other hand, Starcraft 2's release date still hasn't been mentioned.
