Adamo (Latin for "I love" is a Dell subnotebook aimed at design and mobility. It is said to be thinnest 'laptop world. It is a sleek luxury ultraportable intended to compete with Apple's MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy 133 laptop HP.
The Adamo is powered by 1.2 GHz (or 1.4 GHz) Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR3 memory (or 4GB), a 128GB SSD and a 1366 * 768 screen, weighs 4 pounds, and has a price of $ 1999.99. It is perhaps the most beautiful Dell ever computer manufactured.
Design
The view from above begins with a high gloss, hard plastic on the front, moving into a frosted strip in the middle relief "Dell" and "Adamo" logos, which in turn leads to a smooth, brushed metal, and finally ends at the back with another strip of metal dotted. Around the back-end "overhang," the ventilation holes are stylishly presented as a kind of gradient pixel pattern. The keyboard is a smooth, Chiclet-style affair, with slightly curved keys, and a bold, futuristic font.
The Adamo is a true champion in the size department. The laptop is thin ... really thin. Compared with the MacBook Air (0.76-inch at the thickest point) and X301 (0.9-inch), the 0.65-inch Adamo is anorexia.
The guts
The exterior is handsome, but the inside is downright ugly. In its attempt focusing on appearance, Dell seems to have completely ignored performance, loading the basic Adamo with a Core 2 Duo ULV chip chugging along at a paltry 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD drive and Intel's X4500 integrated GPU. Using Microsoft's own Windows Experience tool, the Adamo ranked a lowly 3.2 on almost the lowest end of the scale using basic Aero effects.
Show
The screen size is 13.4 "with 16:9 HD Display and Edge-Egde Integrated Glass with a 1.3 megapixel camera. Screen The screen is just 0.65 inches making it a very powerful sleep screen display functions and super functions. The external body is a tough machine fabricated aluminum chassis with elegant details. External & Internal Ports include Wireless N, Bluetooth & One RJ-45 port. The laptop is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processor with Centrino Technology & DDR3 memory for outstanding performance.
Battery life
Adamo has a 5 + hour battery life, reaches through a non-removable lithium-polymer battery but when tested with energy (lower performance), medium screen brightness, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from the Total Run Time: 2 hours, 40 minutes.
Performance
$ 2600 Adamo, with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (3MB L2 cache), 4GB RAM (800MHz), 128GB SSD and integrated 3G. $ 2000 buys you only a 1.2 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM, but you still have the 128GB SSD.
The inclusion of Intel's GMA X4500HD GPU is considered the largest problem with this laptop. Nvidia's GeForce 9400M (like MacBooks, etc.) would have made a better fit.
Wrap up
It seems the MacBook Air has a serious competitor now if someone looks at buying a thin laptop for portability.
But Adamo is really expensive, if the price / performance is considered. The Adamo is a bit a strange beast. It is not as feathery as the Lenovo X301 or MacBook Air, and even with those extra pounds Heft, is the (general) not as powerful as the MacBook Air, a computer that is also Adamo cheaper than in the base configuration.
