Dell Adamo Ultraportable Laptop reviewed @ ITreviewed - 03/17/09 04:07 PM
Hello,
We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.
Thanks greatly!
"Style-minded people who place a premium on precision craftsmanship and
design will want to set the Adamo in their sights. While the machine is
certainly an upper-end product, Dell has always done exceptionally well in
the realm of mass production, so there is a reasonable chance that the Adamo
could end up being more affordable than the competition by the end of the
year. We hope so, as there's a lot of demand for a light ultrathin laptop
that can pack more power than the current netbooks. But there might be a
bigger issue. Dell has gotten pretty good at design over the years and Adamo
proves it - Dell can actually be stylish! The problem is that you need a
customer base that covets that approach and we're not sure Dell has it.
Apple's strength is that it has a few million customers that will buy
anything it puts out because it's either a fashion statement or the brand
says something about them. The turn Dell is trying to make is a tough one
right now. Adamo is interesting, but probably too fashionable for the price.
If cost isn't an issue, this is the slickest Windows-based laptop around."
