Dell Introduces Ultraslim Adamo Laptop

Dell Inc, the world's second-largest maker of personal computers, introduced a 10-inch netbook which could be a possible competitor to Apple Inc's MacBook Air.

The new black laptop is called "Adamo," which means to fall in love with. The laptop has an ultraslim design that makes it easy to hold.
Dell said it would begin shipping Adamo in the first half of 2009 but declined to give any pricing info. According to Michael Tatelman, vice president of global consumer sales and marketing at Dell, “it won't be just a laptop, but a whole new brand name of luxury products”.

"There's things and products that you like, and there's things and products that you love. Adamo ... will be the new luxury franchise in the Dell brand lineup," said Tatelman.

The company did not reveal more specifications of the laptop, other than saying Adamo represented the best of Dell's craftsmanship, performance and design. More product details will be revealed at a later date and the product will ship this quarter.

Dell has also announced the Mini 10 netbook, which will include a 10-inch screen and a full-sized keyboard. It will also have some unique mobile features like GPS capabilities and a built-in TV tuner, which will allow users to watch broadcast TV on the go. The tuner supports certain standards in the U.S., Western Europe, Japan and China.

The netbook will be based on Intel's Atom Z-series processor and is scheduled for release in the next few months. Pricing information was not immediately available. Dell already offers Mini notebooks with 9-inch and 12-inch screens.
