Dell has finally given us a glimpse of their new Adamo XPS. Dell is looking to compete with the Macbook Air’s thin profile and lightweight structure with their own. The Adamo is only 9.99 millimeters thick and has a very similar body structure to the Macbook Air.

Although the slim profile is amazing, Dell seems to be banking on it too much. Users care about the functionality of the machine just as much as the design. Earlier today, Senior Vice President of Dell’s Consumer Product Group, Alex Gruzen, held up the Adamo to a room full of reporters who were absolutely amazed by its size. Along with the press release, Gruzen mentioned that the computer was going to be one of those things people lust after. He shouldn’t make such statements until tests on speed and usability are measured. Until then, check out the press release of the Adamo from Dell and an extra snapshot.

ON 9/9/09, DELL OFFERS SNEAK PEAK OF 9.99-mm DESIGN CONCEPT

Round Rock, Texas, Sept. 9, 2009 - 9/9/09 comes only once and today Dell is offering a glimpse of its highly stylized, thin 9.99-mm Adamo By Dell concept that’s as beautiful as today’s date is unique.

The initial reveal, at www.dell.com/AdamoXPS, reflects the concept’s unique, super-slim profile.

In March, Dell introduced the Adamo By Dell brand and Adamo™ laptop as the pinnacle of craftsmanship and design. Derived from the Latin word meaning “to fall in love with,” the Adamo laptop is the world’s thinnest and today’s concept shows Dell’s commitment to taking that to the next level.
