Dell officially unveils Adamo, shares almost no details

Dell has confirmed the existence of their new luxury laptop brand, Adamo, at CES in Las Vegas. But beyond briefly showing off its skinny build and promising a launch sometime in the first half of 2009, the company gave no further details as to what we can expect to see under the hood.


Alex Gruzen, a senior vice president in Dell's consumer product group, would not say approximately how much the new machine would cost either, but emphasized that it would be a high-end “no compromise” laptop. Looking at some images posted by Engadget we can also tell there are three USB ports, an Ethernet socket and an eSATA jack, plus a really slick power adapter with a removable plug for international use.

Sadly, there is not much to be said at this point, only that Adamo is seriously thin and confirms Dell's goal to outmatch the MacBook Air – whether or not they succeed in that regard remains to be seen.

  1. 3 USB Ports! Awesome!
  2. i think if you look very closely it also comes with a screen built in...maybe ones there are more details - good luck to dell to be honest. first i have a xps studio so i would prefer they have some success and dont go out of business, second its about time someone brought out a premium laptop that had some success as a brand name. maybe this will be successful.. competition is good.
