When we thought you could not get thinner than an Apple MacBook Air, think again…
Dell has combined the avant garde Adamo line with the XPS brand to take the title as the slimmest laptop around.
It may not be the lightest but it is taking the title as the thinnest with the bulge being only 10.3 mm. This is even thinner than the iPhone 3G which stands at 12.3 mm or to get this into perspective get a CD jewel case you’ve probably got floating around the office or your house and the imagine a laptop being thinner.
Launched in the US, Dell have not cut all corners, they have moved the keyboard about 100mm from the hinge but they have packed it with a 1.4GHz Core2 Duo ULV CPU, 4GB of 800MHz DDR3 memory and a 128GB SSD. Unfortunately the 13.4in LED display is powered by an Intel integrated graphics chip.
It does come with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit making full use of the 4GB of memory and the dell multi-touch touchpad.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the XPS Adamo, keep visiting us to find out when it is coming out in the UK. It’s already added to my 2010 wish list and lets hope you can buy it without an operating system. I’m liking the Ubuntu 9.10, this could be a real alternative to Windows.
