Dell Adamo Review — Macho Outside, Sissy Inside
Odelia Lee writes with a full review of Dell's new Adamo slimtop over at Gizmodo. While it may have an sleek exterior there are definite gaps (both literal and figurative) in their engineering. "The Adamo is both a compliment and an insult to Dell engineering. It's possibly the most beautiful computer Dell has ever manufactured, but I'm not sure that Dell has caught up to competitors in either aesthetics or power. There have been lots of qualitative Adamo reviews out there, but we got the first of the units that will actually ship to customers, so it's time for real benchmarks. As it happens, performance is really what's at stake here."
Why don't you just wind it down and give the money back to your shareholders? Or stick to servers.
Dell Adamo, for when you want to be pretentious, but you can't afford Apple.
And yes, that website is hideous Flashturbation. I dare you to "encounter," "admire," "discover," or "commit" anything useful about the Adamo on the page. Apple gets credit here for blending marketing and tech specs. Where is the audience for Adamo? They already bought Apple or they're scratching their heads trying to find out how much RAM and CPU it has.

They could give it a gruff exterior, but it would kick the ass of any other computer that got in its way, Apple or Cylon.
I didn't know Alabama had a large Latino population, much less a large population of Latinos on drugs.
Adamo commercial
Thank you, Gizmonic, for introducing me to yet another word I expect never to use in polite company. :)
Cheers,
"What in the name of Fats Waller is that?"
"A four-foot prune."
Yet this brings to mind a fat guy riding an extremely fancy bike.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
That commercial would have been perfect, if only Ricardo Montalban were still with us to tout the "Rich Corinthian Leather" of the Adamo (and hey, they DO talk about leather around 2:17 in the Adamo video).
It could be in a wrist pad...

Bigger, heavier, louder (which, to me, is half the point of something like the air), integrated battery (just like the air), bad performance, higher price... what's the point?
But, but, but... this can't be true! Lord Ballmer informed us that Apple computers are $500 more than the equivalent competition! So a computer from a budget manufacturer like Dell should be faster, lighter, and quieter than the MacBook Air for less money!
This story must be a LIE!!
