Dell Adamo and aluminum-clad Apple MacBook Air had hit the market with the kind of fanfare rarely observed for laptops. At Macworld in January 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air, “As the piece de resistance of the conference.” To this, Intel Chief Executive, Paul Otellini added to Job’s words while describing the significance of the Air. In the year 2009, at the Consumer electronics Show, Dell's 0.65-inch thin Adamo was introduced with equal zeal and enthusiasm.
Once which shone so bright appears dull with days passing by. Same happened with Apple’s MacBook Air which hasn’t been upgraded for more than a year’s time and Dell's Adamo appears bleakly on the company's Web site, where it is now priced at $999. On the other hand, The Adamo XPS has gained much attention.
Initially, these gadgets were expensive and offered an unattractive sales deal.

In the meantime, iPads and the netbboks have taken over the market; the ultra-small and low priced laptops have regulated the market in a big way and have diverted any attention set for luxury laptops. Dell's Vostro V13, for example is ultrathins: low-cost, slim notebooks, incorporated with key design elements of the Adamo have certainly and rightfully grabbed the attention.
