Dell's Adamo XPS laptop is revealed and the Adamo XPS reviews have been pouring out.
Dell announced today that its super-slim Adamo XPS is here and will provide users with “a unique experience.” Dell says that with just a swipe of a finger, the keyboard appears from under the display as the system opens. The feature set challenged engineers to build the latest technology into a compact space, including:
- 4GB* DDR3 800 memory;
- Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4Ghz) ultra-low voltage processor;
- Thin 128GB SSD for faster, cooler, quieter and more durable storage than traditional hard drives;
- A13.4-inch high-definition display.
“Our engineers and designers are breaking new ground and throwing away the old rules with the introduction of Adamo XPS,” said Alex Gruzen, senior vice president of Dell consumer products. “We think the Adamo XPS will inspire an emotional connection with anyone who sees it.”
Our very own Rob Enderle described this new Adamo notebook as the “hottest Windows 7 product” in the market. To get more specs on Dell’s Adamo XPS, check out our Adamo XPS review by Rob Enderle.

1. While the laptop might look good, the slightest touch will get smudge and fingerprint marks all over the shell of the laptop
2. It’s fragile. The slightest mistake even if you put the Adamo down too hard will pop the bottom cover off
3. The specifications is poor so the performance matches.
4. It is ridiculously expensive especially for the specs that come with the Adamo. The most annoying thing is that it doesn’t come with anything else but the laptop. You don’t the external optical drive or the protection case. You don’t even get support CDs with it to recover the laptop when it crashes. (and boy does it crash!)
5. It crashes constantly! After 2 weeks, the wireless card, mouse pad and display drivers died. Dell tried to tell me if was a software problem and I had to reinstall windows vista. One slight problem, the laptop didn’t come with an software or support CDs so how was I going to do this. Eventually they sent a technician out to take a look but he had absolutely no idea what to do and it was actually his first time he had ever seen an Adamo. Needless to say after 6 weeks and 4 visits, it turned out the wireless card, mouse pad and display drivers were faulty and needed replacing.
6. Ridiculously bad support. No one knows about the Dell Adamo. People at the Dell stores don’t know anything about the Adamo besides the specifications and refer you to the website or support phone line. Support staff at the call centre don’t know anything about the laptop. When I tried to order the optical drive, protection case and an extra power adapter, they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about or the part number. They said they would call me back but needless to say I’ve called them on 8 separate occasions over several weeks and 8 people have said the system is down and they will call me back and not a single one has. I’ve now given up.
The fact is this Adamo laptop by Dell is a piece of crap. It’s so bad that I actually bothered to get online and write a review about it. I feel so strongly about this that I wanted the world to know about it so they don’t have to endure as much frustration as I have had. So do yourself a favour and get a Macbook Pro. I guarantee you it will be less frustrating learning to use Mac OS than dealing with Dell.
