Dell Adamo Stalled Until Mid-2009

Dell's highly acclaimed and highly mysterious Adamo might not be entering mass production until the second half of 2009. This isn't the first Adamo delay we've seen, and our fingers are crossed that it will be the last.

Dell's Adamo, the svelte 13" would-be competitor to the MacBook Air, seems to have hit another snag in development and won't be seeing broad production start for months. Reports have indicated that Foxconn landed the production gig and is working on sample production right now, with mass production scheduled for mid-2009. Foxconn has denied any knowledge of the orders, and this report flies in the face of earlier reports that the Adamo would be out in February as well as Dell's CES claim to release them "in the first half of 2009". We'd forgotten that we'd crossed our fingers for the February release as well - maybe we'd better think of a better way to make Dell release their laptops faster.

There is still little factual information about the Adamo (even after a CES demonstration), aside from the fact that it looks pretty darned cool, but there is a strong hope that these delays will be compensated by some pretty impressive internals. Can't be too sure though, and it looks like we're going to have to wait a while to find out.

    Not a 100%, but i think it can handle halo 2. If you plan to play anything, newer than halo 2 your system probably wont be up to spec. and graphics cards aren't exactly something you can just switch out in most laptops. If I help you, great

    Well I'm thinking about a new laptop but i don't know anything about computers. So, my question is will this laptop run halo 2 vista?

    Dell Adamo is stylish and sleek in design but the price is little bit on the higher side. It does lack sd power slot so that is little bit of on the disadvantage side.

  • By: Stock Market May 07, 2010 4:19 AM

    Today Dell officially confirmed that they will be releasing a new ultrathin laptop called the Adamo. The Adamo is a sleek laptop with an aluminum chassis, with a strikingly similar appearance the HP Voodoo Envy 133. Dell has not revealed any final specifications, and we are unable to discuss what we saw in the current version, but we did get a chance to handle and use the current Adamo prototype.
