Super-thin Dell Adamo XPS is Under 1cm Thick
The new Adamo will make the old one look like a fatty.
The market for the ultra-thin, premium laptop is small and exclusive. The main players are the Dell Adamo, the Voodoo Envy and the reigning champion, the Apple MacBook Air.
The Dell Adamo, unfortunately, wasn't able to measure up due to being underpowered and overpriced – even when being compared to Apple's product. Dell seems to have gone back to the drawing board and is back with a new version that'll measure even thinner at 9.99 mm (0.39 inches) all around.
Not much else is known about this product this far aside from what we can see from the teaser site. Stay tuned for more.

Adamo XPS. I was about to empty my sack when I realised it's a Dell.
SO let me get this straight. Dell release underpowered ultra-slim and it doesn't sell. They make it thinner.
hmmm... I can't see it being any more powerful somehow.
@mi1ez:
When's the new Nehalem mobile chips coming out? If Dell can sort out thermal issues (i.e. this Adamo XPS looks aluminium so the whole body is a heatsink, just like the MacBook Air) they'd have a nicely powerful machine compared to what's come before and their competition.
Hell, that's how Apple do it - up a component higher than the competition and suddenly everybody thinks they're the best.
Surely the Mac is underpowered by as standard? The first Dell Adamo was a POS though.

Even by Mac standards the Adamo was underpowered. I think the only reason the Voodoo Envy is any good is because they actually worked closely with Intel on getting their spec, hardware and thermal management right - Adamo and Air just seem to use off-the-shelf kit.
