Few days back, Dell pulled out Adamo XPS from its online store so that they could decrease the lead times for orders placed online. However, this surprised decision and availability only through select Best Buy stores led many to believe that Adamo XPS was being discontinued. Now, Dell has managed to shorten the lead time and have started selling back the expensive masterpiece online.

Adamo XPS line starts from $1,799 and has also got new configuration with a faster CPU, more RAM and SSD storage.

Undoubtedly, Adamo XPS is one of the coolest laptops that has been created and if Dell designer’s had their way, it would’ve been much, much cooler than the present version. PC World got their mitts on the early prototypes of Adamo XPS that reveals designers’ somewhat crazy and not to forget, expensive ideas.

The prototype above has a 4-inch multi-touch LCD that functions as a trackpad and also as a secondary screen, pretty much like Fujitsu’s Lifebook N7010.

Another prototype created by them did not use the multi-touch LCD but instead integrated a no-moving capacitive keyboard.

Of course, both these features would’ve been nice inclusions but Dell decided against them plainly because Dell thought the 4-inch multi-touch LCD is not price worthy whereas the capacitive keyboard won’t be welcomed by many due to constant fingerprint smudging and lack of a real keyboard feeling.

After a series of teasers Dell has come clean with its super sleek and sexy Adamo XPS notebook. The 13.4-inch notebook is indeed a testament of craftsmanship and engineering excellence, which packs decent specs in just 9.9mm shell. The laptop’s specs include Windows 7 OS, 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Wi-Fi, 2 USB ports, GPS and Ethernet port that can be used by the included dongle.

Adamo XPS boasts few innovations on the engineering front. As known before, it has a capacitive strip that unlocks the screen when swiped with a finger and also features an elevated keyboard that claims to enhance cooling.

Its priced at $1799 and will be available in time for holidays.

Press Release

Dell’s super slim Adamo XPS notebook was rumored to have a capacitive touch-sensing strip and well, here’s the confirmation. A user will first need to slide a finger and then only will Adamo XPS reveal its screen. Dell also slipped few more details like it won’t be carry Atom processor but an undisclosed Intel ULV one and will be announced in November.

The world’s thinnest notebook from Dell will go on sale on October to coincide with Windows 7’s launch. According to an article in Businessweek, Dell’s expecting to debut the super sleek 9.9mm machine on October 22 carrying a $2000 price tag. Expectedly, the price it bears indicates it won’t be a high-volume product but a way to show Dell’s technological prowess.

Specs are still a mystery but a unique feature Adamo XPS will boast is a heat-sensing strip on the lip of the notebook, which when swiped with a finger, a white light glows and automatically opens up the notebook.

The more I see this, the more I want it. But Dell’s been teasing us with only pictures and no specs, supposedly hinting that the innards powering this 9.9mm notebook won’t be competitive enough. That’s obviously a speculation but you don’t expect powerful hardware to be crammed in such a thin shell. Nonetheless, Dell has asked us to stay tuned for “more info” which means we’ll be able to witness the full unveiling of Adamo XPS with specs and price.

Dell had teased with its super slim notebook last month and today at an, Dell teased us again but this time with a real one. At an event held by Dell, an exec pulled out the notebook clearly showing its slimness. Unfortunately, Dell didn’t reveal any specifications leaving us with its only known fact – 9.9mm thickness.

Dell will soon be launching a new notebook under its Adamo range. They’ve put a teaser on their site that only shows the slimness of the new Adamo XPS notebook and is claimed to be just 9.9mm or about 0.39-inches. To put it in perspective, the original Adamo has a 0.65-inch profile while its ultimate competitor Macbook Air measures 0.76-inches.

On the design front, this really is an astounding achievement but if Dell manages to cram up enough power under this baby and of course, price it sensibly, Adamo might gain few more followers.
