I think it's a pretty decent deal actually. It's not that over priced. The hard drive is solid state, the RAM is DDR3, it comes with a blueray player.
I wouldn't buy one myself, but it's pretty cool in my book. |

Wow, I must say I'm impressed with those specs! But it's a LOT more expensive than I thought it would be. that 128GB SSD is definitely contributing to that pricetag. The keyboard hinge is very unique and cool looking, but I wonder how sturdy it is. It looks like it would be under a lot of stress. I'd still take this over the Air any day though.

An ultra-thin notebook looks cool obviously, but the way the display opens is ultra-ugly :(
I'd love to see a cheaper netbook version with an Intel Atom. That should boost the battery life to something like 5 hours even with the small battery. Of course they'd never do that, because that would make it less exclusive. The use of a super thin notebook that lasts 2 hours at best when used normally is beyond me anyways... |

I wonder if you can place the keyboard flat so it's not at that incredibly uncomfortable looking angle? It appears they didn't have any ergonomicists working on this.

Well if your looking for a thin notebook and money is no object then look no further.
I like the hinge placement, I'm sure it is to provide some nice airflow under the laptop as it sure is gonna get hot with minimal internal heat dissipation, the hinge idea alone will probably save them in alot of RMA's due to overheating. But the thinner you go the more sacrifices you must make on productivity as the good hardware just won't fit. |

I would rather spend the same amount of money on a toughbook and know that I have invested in a computer that has above average protection and is designed to work very well in various environments, as apposed to this on the other end of the spectrum, being about as durable as cardboard...if we get tired carrying around a 7lb laptop, we seriously need to hit the gym.

I would also find the size most appealing. I'm not so concerned with weight. Unfortunately, they haven't figured out how to make something this thin as fast as a full size notebook... But we'll get there. :-) |

I'm fine with Notebooks costing this much, but not with Intel integrated graphics. The Macbook Air comes with GeForce graphics, which makes it about a thousand times better than this Intel crap. (Slight exaggeration, but I really can't stand these Intel graphics.)

That is an interesting looking laptop. You could probably find a better priced one though.

The only people who would buy this are people who think it's cool to buy something else because they hate apple... but then this is a dell which is even uncooler...

I love the look but I thought technology is supposed to get cheaper..My teachers lied to me! lol If they could lower the specs a little and sell it for less/equal to $800 people would buy them up, maybe including me.

My boss has an early version of the Adamo, he connects his DIGISITOR USB Blu-Ray drive - http://www.digistor.com/Digistor-Ext...-2-0-Slot-Load - to it for more functionality, and the occasional Blu-Ray movie when he's relaxing. |
