The ultra-thin model should sit in between the two upgraded current models with ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processors between 1.4GHz and 1.9GHz versus the minimum 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo S in a challenger like the MacBook Air.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/23/adamo.xps.may.still.be.slow/ Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/22/dell.shows.off.adamo.xps.in.more.detail/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/delladamoxps-photo2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell as part of a low-key press gathering today showed its Adamo XPS in greater detail. Although most details are still secret, company representative Alex Gruzen has revealed that the system will use one of Intel's more powerful ultra-low voltage processors and not an Atom chip, as in the Sony VAIO X. Its 0.4-inch thick shell is also designed for the battery to be replaced, unlike either the Ma... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/22/dell.shows.off.adamo.xps.in.more.detail/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/19/dell.adamo.finally.gets.core.2.duo.s/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/delladamo13-reviewsm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell has quietly upgraded the Adamo 13 to better compete against other ultra-thin notebooks like the MacBook Air. The high-end Desire model reviewed here has had its ultra-low voltage 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo replaced with a much faster 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo S like that found in Apple's faster notebook. It has also had its solid-state drive double in capacity to 256GB and Windows 7 replace Vista as the sto... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/19/dell.adamo.finally.gets.core.2.duo.s/ Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/12/new.laptop.design.takes.on.apples.macbook.air/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/12-dell-shot.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell on Monday offered two new product shots of its upcoming Adamo XPS" ultra-thin laptop. The highly stylized laptop, which was unveiled in early September, is thinner than the Apple's revolutionary MacBook Air--under 10mm thick. Although few details have been disclosed, the ultra-sleek laptop appears to rely on a unique, underside hinge to reach its dimensions.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/12/new.laptop.design.takes.on.apples.macbook.air/ Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/adamo.xps.briefly.teased.in.real.world/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/delladamoxps-photo.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell at a press gathering today briefly offered an in-person look at its Adamo XPS ultraportable. True to its teaser graphic, the system is overall thinner than the MacBook Air it's designed to compete against (0.4 inches maximum) and appears to rely on a unique, underside hinge to reach its dimensions. As with very early Adamo and Inspiron 11z teasers, the company didn't provide any specificati... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/adamo.xps.briefly.teased.in.real.world/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/29/dell.latitude.z.official/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/delllatitudez.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today unveiled a new flagship business notebook that should mark a number of firsts not just for itself but for the industry. The Latitude Z is the thinnest and lightest mid-size notebook to date at just 0.57 inches deep and 4.4 pounds despite its 16-inch display, courtesy of its use of ULV Core 2 Duo processors. However, it's also one of the first that can charge wirelessly: an inductive c... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/29/dell.latitude.z.official/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/adamo.xps.teased.without.details/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/delladamoxps-teaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today quietly put up a teaser site for the Adamo XPS. While it gives few clues, the site touts a 9.99mm (under 0.4in) thickness that would make it far thinner than the Adamo 13 and significantly thinner than the MacBook Air the Adamo series has often fought against. The side profile image shows a uniformly metal (likely aluminum), tapered design unlike the block-shaped original.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/09/adamo.xps.teased.without.details/ Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/21/dell.cuts.adamo.price/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/delladamo-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell has quietly slashed the price on its Adamo ultraportable to match Apple's recent MacBook Air updates. The base model with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive now costs the same $1,499 as the entry 1.86GHz MacBook Air. The higher-end model has dropped to $2,299 but is still more expensive than its $1,799 Mac counterpart. It still has its 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo and 128GB... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/21/dell.cuts.adamo.price/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/02/culv.nbs.too.cheaply.made/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/lenovoideapadu350.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Many of the Windows PC makers building ultraportable notebooks based on Intel's low-cost CULV platform are learning first-hand that their cheaper case designs aren't enough to sustain the systems, a research note from AmTech analyst Doug Freedman says. Many of the companies design the systems with plastic shells to keep their prices down but are discovering that the cases are cracking, often forc... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/02/culv.nbs.too.cheaply.made/ Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/16/dell.teases.culv.notebook/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/dellinspironmini11-teaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell at a Parisian event today briefly showed a mystery notebook likely to be the company's first based on Intel's Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) initative. Without naming the model or detailing its features, Phil Bryant and Michael Tatelman of the company told Engadget and observers that it's part of an "entirely new model line" of thin notebooks. No release information has been given and ec... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/16/dell.teases.culv.notebook/ Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:40:00 GMT
