Okay, this is starting to get a little ridiculous. lol

It's half as thick as the macbook air and is about as thick as an iPod Touch. That's impressive as hell and all, but c'mon, really? lol

It'll be more under-powered than a netbook and it will cost $5000. You just wait and see.

Early votes say "not an atom", but we'll see. Also, expected price is around $2499 according to a few diff sites I've seen.

You'll probably be able to break it by simply bending it. Is that okay?

No, it's not.

I'm keeping my nigh-indestructible (except for the hinges) eight-pound Inspiron 9400, Dell. Thank you.

I'll see your Dell Inspiron 9400 and raise you my Dell Inspiron 9700. :p

These are pretty solid laptops though. Dell sure has come a full turn from what they used to be.

As for the laptop in question... I think it'll be fine. They're more than likely going to use metal and it doesn't take much thickness to make a metal case fairly sturdy. Although, I'd definitely handle it with care anyways. lol

The adamo is either aluminum or carbon fiber, or some mix of both IIRC.

I'll see your 9700 and raise you a pair of IBM T20s, titanium frame.

I play for keeps on laptops-the main lappy I use is a Toshiba that NOTHING can stop.

[Luke122]

I raise you a Panasonic Toughbook CF-27.. or I would if I still had it.

Hells yeah! Thinkpads FTW!

I don't really know what I think about the Adamo XPS. If they actually stick, like, a C2D ULV or something in it, then that will be a very impressive feat. I really can't see how they can make it that thin and still have acceptable thermal dispersal though, which makes me think it'll probably be an Atom (or an ARM. now that would be interesting).

They should make an Adamo Netbook that's just as thin as this new notebook is. I hate to say it, but if it was normally priced, I'd probably buy it. There is just something about ultra-thin products that I like, they're very visually pleasing I guess. It's like my Touch, it's not really comfortable to hold compared to the iPhone, but it just looks sooo much better. lol

I guess I'm a form over function kind of guy. Just do me one favor, if I start chanting "Apple" under my breath, take me out back with the shotgun. lmao

If they did make a netbook that thin, with a normal pricetab (assuming that means <$500), it would snap like a twig. I guarantee you that a large chunk of the cost of the Adamo XPS will be the (presumably) milled aluminum chassis. Personally I would have gone with carbon fibre, but hey, I didn't design the thing.
