Dell Adamo XPS Gets Official

Tweet

The world’s thinnest laptop, at only 0.4-inch thickness, is the brand new Dell Adamo XPS. We’ve shown you the first pictures of it and we’ve shown you the first specs a while ago. Today however, we have the real deal for you. Dell has finally announced the Adamo XPS and the laptop will be available in stores just in time for Christmas.

So let’s look at the officially official specs of this 9.99mm thin beast! Will the computer be able to match our expectations? Will we chose the MacBook Air over the Adamo XPS?

The Adamo XPS is definitely an interesting machine. It takes a lot of knowledge and skills to make such a thin laptop. It’s an even greater challenge to make everything inside the laptop work accordingly and deliver the performance the consumers expect from modern machines.

Without further ado, here’s the specs and features list:

• 4GB DDR3 800 memory – shared for graphics support
• Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4Ghz) ultra-low voltage processor
• Thin 128GB SSD for faster, cooler, quieter and more durable storage than traditional hard drives
• A13.4-inch high-definition display
• Windows 7
• Weight: just over 3 pounds
• Size: 13.39 x 10.71 inches
• When opened, the body of the Adamo XPS is raised so the keyboard is angled to enhance cooling.
• Capacitive latching device – one finger swipe opens the latch.
• Built-in location awareness to provide real time local maps to show people where they are.
• Replaceable battery, with optional higher-capacity battery available.
• Full size keyboard with aluminum keycaps; touchpad with gestures.
• Built-in 802.11n wireless.
• High Definition (720p) 13.4-inch WLED display.
• I/O: display port, 2xUSB 2.0, audio, Ethernet (via included dongle).

The Adamo XPS’s pricing starts at $1,799 which isn’t that bad considering that we were expecting it to cost around $2,000 if not more. The laptop will be available just in time for the holidays so do talk to Santa. Maybe he will find the necessary resources to convince the elves to wrap an Adamo XPS for you.

And just for the sake of conversation I’ll say that the most expensive MacBook Air available now costs $1,799 too and it offers an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM a 128GB SSD and the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card. What will you choose?
