  • did you see how much the screen bent when she opened it by pulling on one side? :S

  • f'kin bounces around when you type. It should have been kept flat, could have put some decent speakers or enlarged the screen with the extra space. Worst review of anything I've ever seen, the obvious glances at the spec list.

    I'll have to get this chicks address so I can mail her a hairbrush.

  • @derekmcgoldrick bounces around? what are you typing so hard for? It is so thin that it would overheat if it would lie flat, the speakers are very decent and the screen is the average size of an ultralight, It is that small on purpose because most people dont want to lug around 17 inches of laptop with them.

  • fuck it would suck to type on that thing

  • gay!!....mac ftw!!

  • Bad review but if you're someone who doesn't need a powerful laptop but needs portability I see the point. I would buy it. But it is a bit too expensive.

  • @MrAleckazee im still trying to decide if i want the air or the axps, the price is much cheaper now but thats only if I buy from amazon. can the axps run discs like the mbair (borrowing nearby cdd?)

  • thats is tabletop, not a laptop

  • WOW wtf your hair hahahah elfiherhelrqhg;roiqhger!!!!!!1­1

  • Also, what ports does it have. USB seems too thick for this.

  • @bluCarb0n 2 usb ports and an ethernet.

  • How is the performance? 1.4 ghz seems to leave a lot to be desired.

    Is the sound quality good?

    Is the webam/mic quality good?2mp is larger than most integrated webcams.

    Thank you.

  • @bluCarb0n 1.4ghz dual core is pretty weak, considering the processor is the weakest point of this. The hard drive, though, is solid state, so expect insane speed there. All in all, regular performance in windows should be very good, where games and/or demanding programs (like photoshop) won't do as well at that low frequency.

  • she is not ugly, she looks to put on some makeup and try not to do a video after you got done fucking under the desk.

  • ugly

  • fix your hair pleasse

  • Umm, that's going to feel awkward on my lap. No pun intended, of course.

  • nice presentation

  • it may be thin but its very unappealing. Its all a model with no brightness.

  • Not a good review of the hardware folks. Reading off the script on the table and not taking the time to at least practice before filming is so lazy!

    That keyboard looks like it'll snap off at the embedded hinges.

  • Holy shit this laptop sucks for specs. What a piece of shit. If I'm going to spend $2000 on a laptop I'll get a fucking macbook air. BTW this review sucks asshole

  • Btw, the review sucked. It seems that she got this laptop, never bother turning it on to see, what's the hardware inside. All I heard is: i has this, or maybe that, we don't know. What's the point of the review if you don't know? Just because you got your hands on one of these doesn't mean that you can make garbage reviews.

  • It looked awesome while it was closed. As soon as she opened it, i started laughing. Basically as soon as you start typing on it, it will keep on closing on your hands..

    A small strip just to open it up? What if it's out of juice and i need to get it opened (maybe i left a business card on the keyboard when i closed it).

    1.4Ghz? G wi-fi? bluetooth is an option? And it costs 1700 Euros (~2.5k USD).

    I think it'll fail.

  • Horrible review.

  • the only thing good abt it is the looks. mac air is probably the sexiest laptop ever because of its looks and more importantly the operating system

    IT HAS A MAC OS X SNOW LEOPARD. the coolest OS in the world. winodes 7 is great but mac is better. altho this is pretty cooll

  • @punkstreetpunk ur a fucking idiot

  • @nyczszx come blow me :-)

  • @punkstreetpunk askign another guy for a blow job is pretty gay.. At least I know your a homo now :-)

  • @nyczszx Your;e a guy? LOL, must you insist on believing such delinquents?

  • Then when the macbook air came out ppl said oh its expensive and no disc drive..Who wants that..LMAO instant karma for all the apple haters waht u gonna say now????? For the price of this u get a macbook pro a macbook air or a 27 inch imac.Keep hating on apple

  • @Unbox2Review

    Without a disc drive you can't play any games, watch any movies and transfer music from CD's.

    And you said in another comment that they copied the shape and the design of the Macbook, though I'm pretty sure all laptops are square. Just because it has the same keyboard doesn't mean they copied it...MAC WAS NOT THE FIRST TO CREATE THE INTEGRATED KEYS IN THE KEYBOARD.

  • @sebastianave its 2010 how often do you actually use a CD?

  • @cmoney333

    I have a collection of 300-400 DvD's, and I like to watch movies, since I live at something called an "after school" and we're not allowed TVs but computers. And I don't use steam either, so I have quite a few games where using the CD is required to play the game.

  • Wow amazing product justl ike the macbook air only it opens gay as fuck..Where is innovation in the industry? Apple makes something and 2 years later ppl piggyback ride on apple and copy the shape and the design on their phones and laptops...If it wasnt for apple the industry would be a Fail

  • Also, I wonder if they could of put ports under the keyboard as well, I mean since its never lying flat they could do that, couldn't they?

  • This is a minor complaint but I really wish these 'reviews' or overviews were done by someone that knows what they are talking about, instead of just preparing what to say really quickly before beginning to take the video. There are already several laptops including one from the VERY SAME LINE OF PRODUCTS! That is already thinner than the macbook air for example. So is the Sony Vaio X. Yes its true this Adamo XPS is now the thinnest without question, but really you should know these small detail

  • The way it opens is just gay.

  • TRUE

  • Hello Miss Orgasm, My name is Peter Climac but my tools stay in the shed when you are around!

  • just get a macbook air.

  • @ReassuringSmile not that POS

  • marty orgasm lmao!! probs just the fact im drunk but i found her second name hillaious!!

  • Listen to the beginning 0:01 she says her last name is ORGASM.

  • lmfao

  • HAHAHA NICE 1 LOOOOOOL

  • Comment removed

  • This computer is stupid. First why include two batteries instead of making ONE good batteries. Second why have some stupid touch sensitive leds, it does not make any sense. Third, why make a ultra portable laptop that is impossible to have in your lap. Just get a macbook air.

  • you're a big fat idiot, plenty of people have complaints on their macbook air.... do more reading before u make idiotic comments on here

  • what if you put it in your lap will it fall?

  • whats the worth of getting a super thin laptop when its not even a computer sacrificing most of the hardware parts.

  • WOW, she's so damn hot...

  • THEEE FUCKKK??? o_0

  • how many iches`?

  • She's hot.

  • How ironic

  • how easy is it to use on your lap?

  • she's hot...

  • r u serius

  • yea man she looks like my mum...

  • she just woke up?

  • FIX YO HAIR

  • just an 

  • @itsstefpapadopoulos wow howd u do the apple symbol?

  • its always awkward opening up this laptop :P

  • Stay away from DELL!! (HELL)

  • exept Alienware

  • the fact you can't string a fucking sentence together is just one of the reasons why i don't believe you

  • Comment removed

  • Lol thats a even bigger joke, what a piece of shit you've invested in. Might have well have invented a time machine and then invested all your money in ENRON, would have done better

  • Comment removed

  • I never said a machine can make you like a better person? why, do you only like arseholes now or something? and where did you purchase said machine?

    if you in fact referring to the fact that i am using a machine to comment and seem like a better person do you really think that me ripping on you makes me better? you must think fuck of yourself then?

  • Budd i meant to say that a machine or what car i drive or where i live doesn't make me a better person. Forgive me if i was being an as*.

  • lol that was a giggle, sorry dude thought it would be too much fun to wind you up :D

  • LOL! i thought you were just another douche!

  • @mrterry0086 shutup retard. not every rich person gets to drive a veyron.

  • sorry bud this argument was over a while ago

  • i drive my self my brain is my computer and i just ate brick for supper in a shelter for the homeless and spend my freetime at a library where i go on the internet

    hopefully i wont get kicked out

    BEETEEDUBZ U GUYZ R DA REECHEST WONES!

  • my second computer is a hp mini 110 and the specs are better on that then on this and the hp mini 110 was only 350

  • mac fail

  • LAP-TOP... how the hell is this going on your lap??

  • Macs are for media people. Not for retards who want to join the bandwagon.

  • macbook is WAY better

  • why?

  • because its a mac.... i dont actually own a macbook but i own the 24in iMac and it is proly the best computer ive ever used next to the 27in at the apple store.. so if apple dominates the desktops why shouldnt it do the same for notebooks?

  • just because its a mac? what kind of argument is that? please compare some specs. apple dominates the desktops? how do you figure?

  • oh no i used to care about specs when i used PCs but now idc. the apple OS X does an amazing job at being fast without much specs and the interface is so nice to use and all the nice features it comes with and its amazingly simple exterior design as well as nice accesories (super thin keyboard) and it doesnt come with junk trialware right out of the box like a PC. it has amazing photo/movie/music/web/everythi­ng you need and can think of right out of the box

  • agree

    macbook FTW

  • I wouldn't think that would be very comfortable to use on your lap. It looks top heavy with that two piece design. Not to mention it's pretty ugly.

  • Doesn't the henge feature on this laptop kind of ruin the "laptop" design aspect? I dont think that thing would sit very comfortably on my lap, but then again, i've never used it so i dont know.

  • i dont like the rounded bezel...it looks cheap that way....sharp lines are better looking

  • It's a lot nicer than the Macbook Pro. A hell of a lot more for the money if you know your components.

  • *air

  • @aaronmonto ha no way

  • the Dell Adamo XPS is a joke

    mac FTW

  • I agree. Dell adamo looks rather flimsy.

  • great nb i like this

    it looks great and is soo slim

  • ugly as hell design i rather have a bigger dell or a macbook

  • shws fukin ugly damm ima bash my head aganst my wall

  • this dell is fugly! that hinge design is fucking stupid!

  • The mac book air is both thinner, more powerful,has a longer battery life and costs less. and its a mac so you will have way less problems with it than a adamo.

  • More powerful?

    I need some of that stuff you are on? Is it haze?

  • wow, "It's a mac"...

  • sajd like a true fanboy...

  • Did you actually read any facts before you wrote this?

  • lol... 2 grand for a computer that has no disc drive??

    Mac sucks.

  • this thing looks horrible. lol

  • wow looks like shit

  • WTF DELL YOU ARE WANKERS!!! IVE JUST HUNTED FOR A WHOLE TEN MINUTES TO FIND A VID OF THE TOUCH STRIP AUTOMATIC OPENING EVERYONE RAVED ABOUT...AND NOW NONE OF THEM FUKING HAVE IT??? GO SUK DIK DELL....shittiest PC's i ever owned. they get one good idea and they fuking kill the shit.

  • ONLY reason iphone sells well is because of apples billion dollar advertising campain loool

  • Apple products simply don't crash.. iPhone is way better then any other nokia or motorola.. Although, Apple really have a huge advertising campaign.

  • macs freeze and lock up much more than windows. thats crashing because you have to manually turn it off. i love it when people like you comment thinking they know what theyre talking about.

  • funny you say that because you have no idea what you're talking about either. I've owned a mac for a couple of years (after using windows for a long time). I've NEVER had my computer freeze. my PC, on the other hand, has had to be reformatted TWICE!

  • nice and yeah i know ppl talk shit when they have never even owned one before

  • hahaha ur a fail

  • no you're a fail. you don't know how to use a computer, so macs lockdown operating system fits you perfectly. you can't do anything with it. and also, no life, you had to scroll down quite bit to get to my comment.

  • no macs can do many things a PC can and do it a lot nicer.. i know PCs can do ore NERD stuff like games and programming.. macs can do sooooo much multimedia i feel bad for you poor PC user.. i remember a year ago when i used PCs but then i opened my mind and got this sick 24in iMac cuz im rich unlike you poor bastard :-( and im now blocking communications :-)

  • hahhaha its funny. i live in williamsville new york. the richest city in the state. my taxes are 15000. thats 15 shitty imacs. and i have a dell studioxps which i paid 1599.99 for. so poor is not an issue. and your mac is last years model. keep up to date or can you not afford anotherone.

  • ha so all PC users are liars too.. what car do you drive? my dad drives an audi q7 and my mom? a 2006 bmw 328i which i get for my first car and shes gettin a benz so i think im richer than you.. u have to game on your computer an are too poor to afford a ps3 like me ;-) also wer gettin the new apple tablet once it comes out

  • i have a 32 gb ipod touch, an env touch, and i just got a ps3 for christmas. my father drives a lexus gs 07, and my mother drives a landcruiser07. they just bought my sister the honda accord coupe (2009) for 28k. and i asked for an h3. also good luck with maintnence on the benz when you move out. those things are tin cans. oh and for the record, i live on 215 via foresta lane in williamsville, new york. axes once again 15k. home itself 1.4m. not poor. fortunately i realise that im on my own

  • when i move out tho. unfortunatly, you're the opposite good luck to you. hopefully i'll see you on the streets somewhere so i can give you some spare change. ps. the playstation, and xbox are rigged to a 58" samsung plasma screen in my basement with 5.1 bose surround sound. as far as the lying, i have proof. mac liars lie out their asshole.

  • nice we recently got the bose lifestyle v30! 5.1 its amazing!!!! and im done arguing macs just work out best for me with my lifestyle and PCs to you and both are better in their own way and to be honest the last PC i used is the ancient XP home!!! but yeah we got the bose system set up with a projector HT system.. it kiks ass! and its about 250inches the only thing i disagree with is mac users being liars.. i for one am not. and yeh benz is gonna kill with maintenance but the E class is amazing

  • projections are sick along with the e class, and thats why you don't like windows. gove 7 a try. personally because ive been with windows since i was like 5, i dont like how mac os is organised. its not bad, their products are awesome, i just dont like the os.

  • yeah i LOVE their computers but i can understand why you dont like the OS.. i grew up with mac and pc and apple way of dressing them up just appealed to me and yeah my next laptop was going to be a win7 anyway cuz i dont have much to spend on it.. only like 850 im lookin at an hp maybe sony

  • yeah. well, im totally with you on this computer tho. its ridiculous and i would never want it. and if you're into mac that much just get the white macbook. its 1000.

  • eh i kinda wanna try sumthin new and my mom and dad are still thinking.. should we go for a benz glk or e class? i know ther not close but we would get a fairly optioned glk

  • also multimedia won't get you anywhere in life unless you own a porn website, or sell photo albums. my architecture school (University at buffalo) only uses pcs. accept for in the commons where real technology isnt required.

  • apple products to have a lot of problems , and them problems are harder to manualy fix compred to linux or windows since u r forced to wait for a apple software uddate , as for iphone , i think its a overpriced peice of over rated crap , HTC r in the lead

  • stop watching your gay porn. its simple enough, then get a good security center, and upgrade to windows 7. problem solved.

  • hardly true. Apple has a strong advertising campaign combined with a good product. that's why it's insanely popular, that's why every other phone is trying to imitate it. I mean cmon the last guys who said they were going to beat the iPhone were Palm and where is the Palm Pre now? NOWHERE.

  • no ones trying to copy the iphone , where the hell u got that idea from ?

  • Everyone is trying to copy the iPhone.

    Touch Screens. before, they were nothing. after the iPhone, they are the rage.

    App Store. iPhone started it. Every single smart phone out there is trying to have one now.

    Rich Web Browsing, Youtube, Maps, etc etc iPhone made HUGE leaps and bounds in the industry.

    I mean I don't think Apple's perfect or anything but you must give credit where credit is due. the iPhone changed the mobile phone industry, no question!

  • apps ? well , phones could install apps since like 2004 , , windows mobile phones could have apps ever since they were out many years ago , touchscreen phones been out forever , its coincidental that iphone was popular same time as other touch scren phones were , the lg prada was out way before the iphone and if anything , the iphone copied LG's simple phone design

  • well.

    i know apple didn't "invent" touch screens, or app stores. but they did them 10x better then any competition.

    before the iPhone, touch screens were much less user-friendly. many still used styluses. multi-touch changed that!

    if you think Apple's App Store is nothing special, take a look to where all the money is being made. take a look where all the developers are flocking. the App Store for iPhone is doing much better then ANY competition. even the android store pales in comparison!

  • erm , android store hasnt been around that long , of course itll have less of a library , and for £550 , the iphone better have a good touchscreen FFS ! my lg viewty pwns the iphone and it only costed me £80 !!!!!

  • aye, many good points. i see your view. let's have peace, yeah? :)

    Before i owned a mac, i didn't care much for Apple myself. But i've owned an iPhone for a time and I saved for a macbook and i must say I've been quite satisfied with both experiences! that's why i like them.

    They're not a perfect company, and they're quite expensive (overpriced, i admit it) but I think they are also highly innovative and they make products that their users enjoy (#1 in customer satisfaction).

  • im glad ya purchases have been satisfying . althjo my phone is now aging . im awaiting for the htc hd2 when my contract runs out next month :) very exciting phone

  • When you compare exact hardware, they are not THAT overpriced. Most PC's in the same performance category are just a couple hundred dollars cheaper. With the mac you get seamless integration with the hardware and OS. Better quality materials etc.

  • 2004? palm has had applications since the dawn of the internet.

  • @idontgiveasheet it was a vevry rough guess just to prove a point

  • hahahhaahah no way ur stupid apple is awsome ur too poor to get one

  • Nope people are more wiser to get pcs. Fool.

  • i can easily afford any mac , my PC is more powerful than any mac u can get

  • you are the worst reviewer ever. learn how to speak

  • And people say macs are overpriced! The macbook air may be slightly thicker but the things it has on the inside just blow the dell adamo away. The base model of the air has better specs than anyway you could configure the dell. The perplexing thing is that the amamo costs more...

  • I think Adamo XPS is going to be much less money then macbook air !

  • 1,799

  • adamo xps is the thinnest laptop yet the biggest failure at the same time

    a macbook air has 2.13ghz 6mb cache vs 1.4ghz and 3mb, has way batter graphics, better screen and better resolution (800 vs 720 horizontal), way better design, smaller footprint, and guess what 0.2 lbs lighter

    wake up Dell,Sony vaio X is 50% the weight of this gimmick laptop, has HIGHER resolution, and is less expensive

    SHAME ON YOU DELL!!!!

  • why is this a failure?

  • Yes, because the Vaio X uses an Atom processor. Wrong class comparison.

    800 to 720 isn't much of a difference, 800p is used in 16:10 displays and 720p/768p is used in 16:9 displays. So the Vaio X having 80 more pixels isn't much of an achievement being the netbook that it is.

    Kudos to Dell for innovating new design and not churning out the same thing every year like Sony does.

  • maybe you are right about class comparaison

    but you forgot to compare the macbook air vs adamo xps: can you play a game on the xps?

    well the 2.13ghz processor crushes the 1.4ghz on the xps, and the 9400M is maybe 20 time more powerful than the integrated graphics

    bottom line:

    thin+light-->winner

    thin+not light-->loser

  • The specifications speak for themselves. So yes, the Macbook Air dominates the Adamo XPS.

    On the topic of games, the XPS can run games...while not very well in comparison to the MBA...but it can run games; despite the 4500M HD integrated graphics. e.g. CoD4.

    However, the XPS also has more USB ports, a lower clocked CPU, a less-power hungry CPU and due to the Intel graphics, I suspect it would not heat up as much as the Air.

  • That said. I wouldn't buy the Adamo XPS. Any other thin-&-light from Lenovo or Apple would do.

  • same as the iphone really , the most wexpensive and over rated and useless phone anyone can buy , its a marketing gimmick , if u rich and want one , then u can , because why not ? if i was rich , id get the adamo because i can lol

  • You've not had any experience with an iPhone if you think it's useless.

  • ucantr change rthe battery , upgrade the memory , cvant change the homepage layout or background , yer forced to use itunes with it , so yh , i aint tried it out yet and its useless already

  • There's no need to change the battery let alone upgrade the memory (on a mobile phone?? wtf?), millions of people use and love iTunes, you can change the homepage layout AND, if you jailbreak, the background (though that's blatantly just not that big a deal =|). The camera's not the absolute best in the world but the video on it is pretty astounding.

    You're being a bit of an idiot. The iPhone (though mainly thanks to its Apps) is obviously one of the most useful portable devices conceivable.

  • i beg to differ , whats the point of jailbreakiung something that costs more than a much better phone anyway ??? haha , and yes , people do like expandable memory and change the battery , i carry 2 batterys for my phone as im on it allk the time away from a power point , ,and i like sd card slot so its easier to transfer files fast iphone is just way behind the competitors

  • and the camera on it sucks !

  • iPhone is shit, especially given what's available nowadays. The battery does need to be upgraded because after a year you'll be recharging it at least once a day!

  • Beauty contest?You work in a office?It's a laptop for mobility, and in a laptop there's not only a processor, and this one is a dual core, it's enough, especially if you work on your computer!

    Dell made it thinking to save energy, it's because it's ONLY 1.4 GHZ!

  • Only 1.4 GHz?  For $1,700! This is the year 2009 isn't it? I'm not against laptops but paying for "thin" seems like a sad tradeoff for a more powerful CPU. What is this, a beauty contest or do you actually want to do work on your computer?

  • A higher clock on the 45nm process would probably become dangerously hot. That aside, people don't bitch about a 1.6GHz which has 30% less performance of this machine. After all, one is paying for the metals and frame, and not the innards.

  • What, you need a 2.6GHz Core 2 Quad to type Word documents and play powerpoint slideshows?

    Ultraportable laptops aren't for everyone, especially not non-tech-educated people who just look at "GHz" and "GB" to determine how good a laptop is. Camera phone manufacturers love people like that, happily adding 5 and 8MP sensors to their phones because "bigger is always better".

  • I think you put the most intelligent comment and I think entropy56 writes stupid things!

  • @wiredaus wait you mean to say phones that have 8MP is not necessarily better than phones with 3MP?

    I guess I'm one of those non tech educated ppl :(

  • That's actually true. 8MP is not necessarily better than 3mp. The Nikon D40 is a DSLR camera with only 6MP while today's cellphones have cameras that are at 12MP. Megapixel is abused as a marketing term, like gigahertz (remember 3.6 Ghz Pentium 4's?).

  • 8, 12, 15 or 21 MP are useful if you print tall posters! It doesn't indicate a better quality.

  • @Entropy56, I use the Latitude XT2 with the same processor. You might be surprised with what it can do. Also keep in mind that the Hertz is not everything. If you do benchmarks the 1.4 GHz processor in this laptop is faster than the earlier Core Duo 2.0 GHz processor.

  • Being thin and light is not a goal, just the means of elegance.

    This one? way far from elegance, ugly and seemingly not easy to use. Hardly imagine how it feels if I put it on my thigh.

    IMHO, it would be a failure, maybe not in the sense of design, but definitely in the sense of market. Poor dell...

  • macbook air is cheaper :O

  • and beter

  • typing on this will be worse than typing on a flat surface -- you should be typing on a NEGATIVE incline. The ergonomics of this thing is terrible!

    I don't know about you, but I like to open my laptop without having to rub it first. I just think it's weird and unneeded. And does this mean that the laptop is locked when the "tabletop" dies?

    What type of idiot let this through to the consumer???
