Dell has finally launched its perversely thin Adamo XPS 13-incher.
At just 9.9mm thick, or thin, the XPS is by far the thinnest notebook
on the market and it might cause neck trauma as envious slobs marvel in
its magnificence.
However, we're pushing it here. While the
styling is impressive, we're a bit concerned about its ergonomics.
Frankly this thing just doesn't look like something that will sit
nicely in your lap. True, neither will lapdancers, but they are
somewhat cheaper, a lot cheaper in fact. The XPS will set you back at
least $1799, and for that kind of money a lapdancer will let you type
on her, among other things.
The Adamo XPS packs a Core 2 Duo at 1.4GHz, GS45 chipset, 4GB of DDR3
and a 128GB SSD. With all this in mind, the $1799 price tag doesn't
sound too bad, especially considering the original Adamo 13 launch
price of $1999 or Apple's MacBook Air pricing. We're just not sold on
the keyboard design.
