    Yeah... looks hot from a design point, but just as the Macbook Air does nothing to me, Adamo also don't.

    Very daring move from Dell to make a keyboard/screen redesign.
    The screen bevel is interesting... the weird mount could be better for ergonomics and ventilation, but I'd have to try to see if it's practical.

    It'd be interesting to have a working tablet with different design ideas like that though. #delladamoxps

    The thin look is impressive. I like the idea of the automatic keyboard stand, except it looks absolutely unlappable, so... it's the world's thinnest desktop? #delladamoxps

    Dell totally ripped off the keyboard layout from Apple. That's almost the exact order of keys on a MacBook Pro. #delladamoxps

    @OMG! Ponies!: And Apple stole it from Remington in the late 1800s. The QWERTY keyboard's been around for over 100 years.

    Unless you're referring to the physical look of the keys themselves, then I'll shut up :) #delladamoxps

    If you want thin and light, why bother with the Adamo XPS and save $400 or so and buy a Macbook Air? They run Windows, too, y'know. #delladamoxps

    @dragon: ONE: Why bother with Macbook air? There are plenty cheaper options that are also thin an light.

    And with this, hopefully you'll understand why people would bother with Adamo XPS. #delladamoxps

    Personally, I prefer a laptop which has a footprint fairly independent from the adjustable display. This is fine and good when it's always on a nice flat surface, but this laptop looks pretty piss-poor to use when you're actually out and about. The battery life is too short, it's too underpowered and makes even worse tradeoffs than the Macbook Air. As far as I can tell, the MBA spanks its little overhang handily in just about every regard, except for being just a tad thicker (big woop).

    I'll give props to Dell for aiming to be different, but I think maybe they tried a little too hard and didn't get much out of the attempt in the end. #delladamoxps

    @Kaiser-Machead: I agree. I think that this is really a machine engineered more to get attention than it is to actually sell. Sure, they may sell a few, but clearly the design is impractical for most purposes, especially since the keyboard isn't ergonomic at all.

    I actually wish they hadn't made it a laptop and instead just made the keyboard removable. Then with a little stand on the back of the CPU/display they would have a highly portable desktop, which actually would have been more useful. #delladamoxps

    @weatherman: definitely; and I would be one of those few because of the following: I work for a law firm; meeting all their new clients; my setup makes a nice clean impression; laptop; scanner; ADF scanner (when necessary) and portable printer. My whole setup weighs in around 20lbs. Not a problem yet; but would be nice to have something lighter... and I charge the laptop in between visits... so no problem on the battery life... so in my case this is just fine... a bit more expensive than necessary (think more like $1,200) since it's not packing too much; at least it seems that way... #delladamoxps

    @Kaiser-Machead: As someone who would never buy a MacBook Air I am much less likely to buy this Adamo. Looking purely at the hardware the battery life and monitor attached stand are big no nos for me and while this is very attractive this makes the MacBook Air look practical and cheap. Though I think it maybe more of an FU to Steve Jobs and his thin computer fetish which is now dampened by being beaten by a Dell of all things. Though for Dell that is hell of a long way to go just for an FU jab. #delladamoxps

    is the hinge reallly stiff? if not, then how can you adjust the screen to get your preferred viewing angle (seeing as the screen is essentially the rear 'feet' of the laptop?), without causing the whole body to shift when rest your hands on the keyboard? #delladamoxps

    i haven't read the review yet -- why the heck is the screen not flush with the bezel? that seems like it could have saved some space. alright, i am gonna go read the article now. #delladamoxps
