The system is championed as the thinnest notebook ever and measures just 0.39 inches at its thickest point. Dell accomplishes the feat by tucking most of the computer components into the display section and relying on a unique hinge that opens underneath and acts as a built-in prop . In spite of... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/05/adamo.xps.thinner.slower.than.apple.rival/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/23/adamo.xps.may.still.be.slow/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/delladamoxps-photo2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />New rumored hardware details for the Adamo XPS suggest the system will be only a mild upgrade to the existing Adamo 13 that trades larger speed gains for its extra dimensions. 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/09/10/20/13.inch.macbook.pro.drops.to.1300/ <img align='left' src=' http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/macctemp.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Coinciding with Appleís latest release of new Macs and accessories, the Canadian stores have made an additional change by dropping the price on its line of MacBook computers by up to $300. On the list are five different MacBook Pros, with the entry-level model dropping from $1,400 to $1,300. The most expensive 17-inch variant, previously available for $2,900, now costs just $2,600. The 13-inch wi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/20/13.inch.macbook.pro.drops.to.1300/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:50:00 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/09/10/07/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/09/10/05/charger.powers.laptop.while.charging.battery/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/quickertek-air-charger.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />QuickerTek has released a new MacBook Air power charger, the Auto and Airline Charger. The charger includes an adapter for use in an automobile or an airplane. The product differs from Apple's chargers that are included with every MacBook Air, with the ability to power the laptop while simultaneously charging the internal battery. All of the standard MacBook Air power options are maintained, incl... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/05/charger.powers.laptop.while.charging.battery/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/new.hp.envies.bring.core.i7.more/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/hpenvy13.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP this morning revived its sleeping Envy label for two new systems targeted at the same slim but high-speed designs as the MacBook Pro. The Envy 13 and 15 are both housed in aluminum-and-black shells and drop the usual optical drive to shed weight and thickness: the 13-inch model is relatively light at just over 3.7 pounds and is 0.8 inches thick, while even the larger 15-inch system is slightly... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/new.hp.envies.bring.core.i7.more/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:00 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
