Dell Adamo, the world’s thinnest laptop
|
|
The new compact laptop Adamo by Dell was apparently inspired by the MacBook Air, judging by its format as well as by its uncluttered design. If, like the MacBook Air, the Adamo has no optical reader and offers a 13-inch ultra-thin format thanks to an amazing glass screen, the latter is even better because Dell managed to create a machine that is even thinner: only 16 mm thick. The ultra-thin screen with a 13.4-inche diagonal, is remarkable thanks to its reduced edges and its glass surface – and, to complete this note of elegance, the keyboard shows a metal finish.
