Have fun trying to install light games or rip a DVD. An optical drive is a standard today and not to mention large HDDs would kill the battery life, be slow, and SSDs available today have an abysmal amount of storage space, the costs are still high, and trying to fit media into SSDs and play them will kill the SSD fast.

haha who needs optical drives these days. With HDD sizes like 500 GB and 1 TB, a virtual drive is much more convenient.

It’s a shame Dell isn’t trying to be a pioneer in this field. Apple is doing way better. I’d have to say, Asus has quite a few interesting concepts! Went to CeBit (sorta like a European CES) and Asus has got these dual panel touchscreens and laptops inspired by origami which sound awesome.

And both STILL do not have an optical drive. The Intel Atom and GS45 in the Adamo does cost more and gives it less power consumtion and heat output. Anybody mention the amount of programs that are far more available on a Windows computer?

agreed – the Mac Air kills the Adamo.

i dont know how dell can put lower spec tech into a more expensive machine that is released 6+ months after it’s competitor and hope to compete. dell you failed.

As Allan said, Air wins with flying colors.

I dislike the look already from looking at the cover. They should have kept it clean like the bottom portion of the cover, or went with the pattern all the way, and move that chrome strip to the bottom. I also prefer laptops with an equal fold, the hinges are very obvious on this one, and there’s a slight chunk from the back when you open the laptop…

Round 1 Fight:
Dell Adamo vs Apple’s MacBook Air
K.O.
Air Wins!

-> No Contest.
