New Images of Adamo XPS Notebook Surface
New Images of Adamo XPS Notebook Surface
 
Dell today released two new images of its Adamo XPS ultra-thin notebook, which measures only 9.99 mm thick. Information on the Adamo XPS other than the pictures is non-existent at the moment, though more will be released in the coming weeks.

Re: New Images of Adamo XPS Notebook Surface
Of course, the real question is: How well is that going to work as a "laptop" computer? I can't imagine the elevated, drop-down keyboard will be particularly comfortable on the lap ... but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Wait. I thought the keyboard was on the main body of the laptop, which is the vertical section in the first picture. Isn't the diagonal section on the first picture the screen (with the characteristic Dell ultra-thin "hump" behind the screen - the visible USB port is therefore on the right edge near the back corner)? |

Nope. That first photo is a side view of the new Adamo XPS ... with the side of the screen doing up and down (vertical) and the keyboard area coming out on the side. It's a completely different notebook form-factor than anything else currently on the market. |

Re: New Images of Adamo XPS Notebook Surface
More pictures but still no specs. This is a Dell publicity stunt and should be treated as such.

Re: New Images of Adamo XPS Notebook Surface
Well in that case I'm not as interested. Imagine how silly you would look in a coffee shop with one of these...
And let's admit it, that's the only reason why you would get one in the first place.
