Dell has officially launched the Adamo, an ultra-thin (and expensive) laptop which the company claims to be the thinnest in the world.
With a general thickness of 0.65 inches (1.65 cm), the Adamo is thinner (depending on interpretation) than Apple’s MacBook Air which has a thickness of 0.16 to 0.76 inches.
The market is giving a mix review for the product, but most are wondering if the high-end laptop (USD1999+) could sell well during recession.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the ultra-slim MacBook Air, dubbed the world’s leanest laptop computer, on January 15th at the MacWorld Expo 2008 in San Francisco.
The MacBook Air has a ‘thinness’ of 0.16 to 0.76 inches (0.4-1.94 cm), so thin that it can actually fit into a manila envelope.
Despite its slimness, MacBook Air is a full size notebook (13.3-inch widescreen) with the latest tech specs, and weigh at approximately 1.36 kg.
The cool gizmo ain’t coming cheap though; it would cost Mac enthusiasts US$1799 to enjoy the privilege of owning the world’s leanest laptop.
