Adamo is off the main Dell site so I guess it's over.

the onyx is still on the uk website for £999 :P

is there a big difference between the SU9400 1.4GHz and the SL9600 2.1 GHz in terms of performance? if i do normal task such as web browsing, ms office, video/movies, music, flash games.. will i notice a big diff?

im looking at an onyx one but its only available in SU9400 1.4GHz / 2gb mem, a pearl version has the SL9600 2.1 GHz / 4gb one, but i really like the onyx, its more appealing to me aesthetically (which is the main factor why im interested in the adamo btw)

any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Jon

i doubt you'd notice any difference in average day to day use. The SSD is what really makes the performance so impressive (same with any other SSD based notebook).

Dell swapped mine out a while back and I didn't notice much speed difference. I think my fan might run a bit more now...
but both of mine had 4gb ram

Just ordered one from the dell outlet. I hope the ssd supports trim or some garbage collection scheme.

tags: Location sensor gps mobile broadband sim slot skyhook

Hi guys, I just got onyx from ebay, did fresh reinstall of win 7 and

1) having troubles finding soft/drivers to get back that "skyhook wireless and gps location sensor thing" i've seen on the original installation. am I correct assuming that there is no actual GPS chip in the laptop? so the whole gps thing is just a location detection based on wireless triangulation? or there is one? Also i losy the "location sensor" entry under the control panel->sensors. how do i get back? is it due to the drivers absence? please share your wisdom here

2) as far as i understand there were two variants of adamo with mobile broadband (SIM card slot and supporting hardware) and without. mine didnt list such support although i do have the sim slot. as there is a way to get mobile 3g on my adamo? is the chip still there? how do i do this?

many many thanks for your time in advance!!!

tks for the replies.

another question, would a 1.4ghz/2gb fare better in terms of battery life vs. a 2.1ghz/4gb one?

since, performance seem the same for both on normal computing, the other consideration im taking is the battery life.

ill be buying my unit at the dell outlet shop, anyone here bought a refurbished one? how's the condition of the unit? are the blemishes something you'll regret or is it negligible?

thanks!
