The Amazing Dell Adamo Laptop

March 21, 2009

Mac has been been a clear sign of flawless design... simple, but functional, and for a long time, PC market had been ignoring that fact, but we are seeing some changes before our eyes. The Dell Adamo shows us that they got lots of hidden cards to compete in terms of design.

Adamo comes to compete with Macbook Air, and for that, it's also known as the "Macbook Air Killer". It's always nice to see a big league competition, mainly because consumers get awesome deals out of it. The only issue for Adamo is that, while Mac has a sweet OS, it has not. Yet. Anyways, the guys from Engadget made an awesome hands-on video, which you may watch at their website. Bellow are some pictures of it! Hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Macbook is nothing comparing it to this one :D

Juan8503/21/2009

Finally a decent laptop with lit keys...thank you :D

Cesar03/21/2009

It looks great! the only thing is the $2,000 price. Very similar to a MacBook so if I have $2,000 to buy a PC why not buy a MacBook?

Cheers,
Cesar.

ricwein03/21/2009

yeah, the adamo is very amazing, but a bit expensive... cheapest one with 1900€ -.-

Morgana D Almeida03/21/2009

about the price, i think the same as Cesar. Mac performance is always better than pc. My opnion of course.

TommyFerrell03/21/2009

ai this looks just sexy

Anonymous103/21/2009

I'm so tired of manufacturers charging a premium for an okay design. Of course, how will the chic 22 year old designers justify the price tag just to be hip?

adam03/21/2009

looks nice but that's it.

Avida03/22/2009

Great design... mostly. God i HATE the arse they gave it.

eu03/22/2009

Anonymous03/22/2009

The mac book still remains the most beautiful laptop that you can buy

Commie03/22/2009

Deffinitly this one sucks compared to Dell Studio or to Dell XPS, especially to the XPS

DP03/22/2009

If only it were cheaper and had more processing power....

Luigy Lukatello03/22/2009

Timon03/22/2009

@D0ral

...but not in, an operating system such as leopard! :)

Daniel03/22/2009

I wouldn't spend 2000 on a PC anymore.

Always crashing and always dealing with viruses.

Macbook is the way to go. Hard as a rock, no viruses. Because 'rocks' can't get infected.

"Macbook is the way to go. Hard as a rock, no viruses. Because 'rocks' can't get infected."

there are viruses, just less of them

Anonymous03/23/2009

Less viruses, but only because of less Mac users. The more Mac users, the more viruses born. But... that's all the trendy Mac user can hang on to at this point. I've got no preference performance-wise, but Mac's 'make it cute and morons will buy it' thing is getting a bit tired.

Anonymous03/23/2009

I just love the amazing design. The only thing that I think can compete with this is the Voodoo Envy 133.

Silenzo03/23/2009

if everyone is having a macbook ... it won't take long before there are more virusses for mac then pc ... ^^ just logic...

super nice design, love dell ^^

Anonymous03/23/2009

And you really think this is a nice laptop?
Just because of the backlit keyboard?
for example wtf is this biiiig "dent" behind the screen?
come on… ok they "tried" it ^^

DesignHim03/23/2009

A bit off topic:
Macs have been the standard for design for a long time, but big companies, especially for movie editing, are buying PCs with the Linux OS because of cost issues (and they seem to work the same way).

Heather03/23/2009

Oh, Dell. After seeing how badly my friends' Dell laptops have fared, there is no way I would ever consider buying something from them. Not if you paid me. They were way too much trouble.

Urbalist03/23/2009

Nice design however very underpowered compared to cheaper laptop. Kudos to dell for attempting to challenge apple in selling premium laptops.

BrianPhilip03/23/2009

sexy, can i?

Phenotype03/25/2009

Macs don't get less viruses because there are less Mac users, they get less viruses because OS X is UNIX based, which is a more secure operating system. I'm not saying OS X in uncrackable, but do some research before you post people.
