Concur; while Dell is pumping out this $1800 hack (in this fiscal environment?), their Alienware brand is being sullied by a worsening rep WRT reliability. I guess it causes me to query what direction they are throwing their money in.

Agree with the earlier sentiment. If I were asked to give someone a recommendation on a very thin but capable laptop I would certainly pitch an Acer Timeline or Asus UL at 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of the Adamo. It would be one thing if it [the Adamo] had HW specs that leapt past other devices on the market.

Most people would be better off buying a $400 11″ Acer netbook. People that have to lug around their notebooks prize light weight over thickness. For the premium price the least Dell could do is put something better then Intel integrated graphics.

uggh, that has got to be one of the WORST names given to a computer. Just terrible.

I like their new Latitude laptop much better, that’s where they should concentrate their R&D and not this horrid creation.

I don’t have a problem with thin. I definitely have a problem with the design of this thing, though. I can’t imagine how this thing could work on a lap.
