Dell have just launched a fabulous looking ultra-light PC called the Adamo. It’s stylish looks and high price make it an obvious competitor to the Apple Macbook Air. I think that finally other manufacturers are discovering what apple have know for years that the industrial design of your product is as much a feature as its technical specifications.
The Adamo comes with a “Macbook Air like” price tag and will retaill at around $2,000 US. A steep price tag for a machine that isn’t designed to do all the heavy number crunching that designers, gamers and other proffesionals would expect with a price tag like that. The same goes for the Macbook Air. This class of notebook is limited by its size and is no substitue for a the larger, heavier notebook when it comes to music, video or image editing.
This is probably the beginning of a whole new class of “luxury” computers where brand and coolness mean everything. Apple have almost a 10 year head start but from the looks of the Adamo Dell may hard on there heals.
