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.

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."

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.

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'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.

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?

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.
