Amazing trick on how to get a $1500 worth Dell Adamo Laptop!

  • 14 years ago
http://bit.ly/delladamolaptop Dell initially teased the existence of its upscale 13-inch Adamo laptop at CES 2009, and formally announced details and ordering availability two months later. We previously had a chance to get our hands on a preproduction version of the system, and have now been able to test the finished product. Adamo is a departure for Dell, a company built on selling mass quantities of mainstream laptops (Dell's Inspiron 15-inch is still one of the most affordable and configurable systems available, and an initial stop for many first-time computer buyers). Instead, it's a high-end, ultrathin 13-inch model that starts at $1,999 (there's also a $2,699 version) and partly shares a general design sensibility with the MacBook Air and the HP Voodoo Envy 133. Dell is pitching the Adamo as a "luxury brand notebook design for the luxury conscious consumer," which may not seem like the most timely of ideas, considering the current economic climate and the resultant growth in low-cost Netbooks. But it's important to note that the ultralow voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor used in the Adamo runs rings around other recent slim laptops, such as the HP Pavilion dv2 (with AMD's new Athlon Neo CPU). And while you may be able to get faster components for less, the Adamo's real selling point is its design. There are no visible stickers or screws (even the usual Microsoft and Intel badges have been replaced--the logos are etched into a panel on the underside of the system), and it includes high-end features such as a solid-state hard drive, an etched anodized aluminum chassis, and a backlit keyboard. The end result is an enviable package that will definitely attract plenty of stares at the coffee shop or airport lounge, not just because of its sharp looks but also because, with a $2,000 starting price, you're unlikely to see many of them in the wild.
