Dell is launching world's thinnest laptop computer

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Dell launched the new Adamo laptop, which is world's thinnest laptop computer as they say. The laptop is only 0.65 inches (1.65 centimeters) thick. The laptop specifications are not mind blasting but can be considered impressive. It's powered by a 1.4/1.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4Gb/2Gb 800 MHz DDR3 dual channel memory, Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1, 64bit operating system, wireless N, Bluetooth 2.1, one RJ 45 port and optional Mobile Broadband. Display is a 13.4 inch widescreen 16:9 display with edge-to-edge glass.
In a world dominated lately by netbook computer sales Dell is launchig this new series of premium Dell laptop products. The name they gave to this series is Adamo and will "serve as a flagship in a line of products created to disrupt the personal computing space with the combination of new design aesthetics, personalization choices and sought-after technologies," Dell said in a statement. The laptop is the first product under Dell's Adamo brand. Adamo is derived from the Latin word meaning "to fall in love."
This Dell laptop will have a $1,999 price tag and will be available in pearl and onyx colors. The Adamo laptop is available for preorder on-line with shipping starting today, March 26th. In the current economic environment there is a general doubt about how the public will receive this laptop. The market research company Gartner predicted a 11.9 percent drop in global personal computer shipments, the sharpest year-over-year decline.
The future will tell us if Dell will succeed capturing customers attention with this new fine design.
