Adamo XPS: Typing & Lap Use

[razgoldenbrau]

The XPS Adamo is Dell's Iphone 4: Fuck you, you're not holding it right.

[XxKhSephirotxX]

Design is fucked up, 2000$ is way too expensive for such crap, its windows so it automatically looses againts the MB Air, tiny Trackpad, the keyboard is ugly, and too many things on the keyboard, if you look at a Mac, all it has is the power button, which you cant almost see, and the keys, also a giant multi-touch trackpad, and you can run windows on a mac, so its 2 in 1, not to mention the beautiful design and customer support.

[tkhockeyman100]

@XxKhSephirotxX Cut out the middle man and climb up steve jobs ass will you?

[LtSurge659]

[MrCS95]

[smartdon007]

Damn...U already are using one of those Big Ass Macs....So u views are going to b obviously -ve on the windows.... ! And all windows operating PC's

[YouAreAFaggoKTHXBYE]

Wtf is that design.

[lighter97]

[yogesh892]

[XxKhSephirotxX]

@yogesh892 im pretty sure that's a cat

[BrydenVasquez]

[FullArsenalTV]

@BrydenVasquez Dell adamo xps vs. mac book pro +dell adamo xps

[kristoffers4]

Go MacBook Air!

[Kimarey]

@kristoffers4 Macbook and Macbook Pro > MacBook Air

[jamchals]

Couple of comments on this.

First, ITS FUGLY!!!! - Well its certainly not the nicest laptop i've seen and even from your video it is just not as stable as other machines. When forking out 2k for a laptop you want absolutely NO chance whatsoever this laptop is going to crash to the ground or fall on its screen.

Second, the keys, no-one would have followed suit with sony on the chiclet keyboards until apple came along, sony conceptualised this design however Apple did perfect it.

[follicle5]

cute kitty!!

[jsquad192837465]

We where forced to look at his balls this whole time lol

[Danold31wa]

just

push

buttons

and

life

is

easy

[blindrock1]

it has similar keys to the acer aspire 5536, great but it gets hard to type if food gets in :( my sisster got hold of it. also gets dust in the keys

[stevarachi]

Sony notebooks were the 1st to have chicklet keyboards. NOT MACS!

[valvuy]

Do they have anything against using function keys at Dell's ? why did they design them so small?

[zx2011]

everything on that shit looks like a macbook pro the black keys the colour

[ferdinmd]

we have the same desk! :)

[useurcamera]

DAMN A DELL...

:(((

[ReassuringSmile]

its like the macbook air

[useurcamera]

@ReassuringSmile maybe coz its very thin and slim but no not really

[jchase1970]

but better since it's a pc.

[ReassuringSmile]

bet i'll get spyware within a week

[jchase1970]

really you should try some free virus software like Avast. I never have issues with viruses and spyware and computers are on 24/7. I also run virus/spyware software on my macbook and I suggest everyone should also as there are a great many apple based viruses out now also. It's alot harded getting a virus off of a apple machine if it gets one for some reason.

[tom133991]

Mhm i agree Avast is amazing

[gatoradeboy1234]

5:29

CC needs some work.

[999Sonny999]

whattt the fuckk was that at the start what face are you making omg i pissed myself larffffffin bruv

[sharkinfested]

It's thin but it's huge too - and it's 2 grand.. with no optical drive.

It's like Dell's version of a MacBook Air, only bigger and more expensive.

[ninetynine123]

Great video. Answers the question everyone has when they first see that laptop.

[triangletrexx]

first review that shows the most interessting question: "will it stay stable".thx

[iMartini]

whyyyyyy, why buy this?? nooo

[Dell0304]

i dont like that ergo design at all

[GeirMovies]

John says: "Here it's a little bit weird, I was worried that I was gonna knock this thing over."

And CC with Translating Audio says: "Here's a little we we don't do not isn't over."

Hahaha xD

[fearfactor87]

how does it handle on the toilet.

[MohammeddKhan]

lolll.

[diahooh]

hope it doesnt fell in the hole

[XxKhSephirotxX]

@fearfactor87 get MacBook Air, i have one and it is great @ dump-time

[TheMrDisser]

@XxKhSephirotxX The only place a macbook is worth using is probably the toilet but not for browsing the internet but to wipe your ass off.

[AaronVanquish1]

if you forget to do something, and needed to open that thing quickly again I'm sure that would piss me off every time.

[lsxdashtwo]

looks REALLY annoying to open

[Snorgteez]

john is advertising for cox cable at 3:22 lol jp

[G30RG3B]

I was actually LMAO at the captions on this video.

[cmarcacYT]

the "CC" is a fail... well... its still in beta... but they should really improve it.

[Ishcoa]

At 0:53, the CC says "I had a battle of death for most of the past".  The CC REALLY needs to be improved.

[terry947]

WOW what a stupid ass design...

[Djalexdillinja]

what about when your taking a dump. lol

[hawk860]

@Djalexdillinja huh u squat and surf too?

[TechSmack]

@Djalexdillinja lines on your legs XD

[XxKhSephirotxX]

@Djalexdillinja get MacBook Air, i have one and it is great @ dump-time

[ComfyBoxers]

you missed how it performs lying down, sitting it on your stomach with your knees bent. ?? does it work?

[Sharod101]

sup.

uhm, tbh i don't think one is better than the other. its a personal preference kinda choice. i hate guys going around saying macs ftw or PC's eat macs. I like both. a lot.

I'm definatly more of a Mac guy and i def think its worth the buy, but being in HS, i can only afford a PC notebook, and i cope with it.

its not like PC's are HORRENDOUS compared to macs.

but i would prefer a mac over a pc because they're more reliable and better builds. and i like Unix OS's better like Linux n OSX

[kvnjnnngs]

everybody needs to turn on tha closedCaptions with 'translate audio' lmao jus read it and you'll see.

[DigitalFreedoms]

I agree, the closed captions are amazing.

[rajus0]

jon loves sitting on dead animals lol. kl video

[nishi7cool]

wat are u on about!?

[floopsie666]

Its a laptop people (if I can call you "people"). It doesn't matter how it looks as long as its efficient. Idiots. (Not all of you of course).

[jakeroot1]

Not exactly-looks do count.

[jakeroot1]

Jon, how dare you use DirecTV!!??? JK.

[Juniorpond]

@jakeroot1 lol

[gearbear1993]

lol what happened to your rug

[awsomeness25]

looks like he had a coffee table and moved it

[fswmacguy]

Awful design. I understand the ergonomics, but this notebook is simply unstable whether it's on a desk or not.

[wretchedstare]

I would like to see this Dell VS the Envy.

[765gangster]

yo that thing is mad nice and who ever says thats ugly well u must be ugly

[devinsipodhelp]

Wow! That looks like a Macbook Air and I might actually want that!

[whiteberryphantom]

Did you buy that or is It a review unit?

[shoelace510]

I like it... but I'd prolly wait until the second generation to buy one just to see how they could improve it over the product they already have. ^^

[Kavanaghness]

The angle at the start of this vid is cool you should use it a lot more

[jagjagin]

pretty cool, suck it  apple.

[ViluR123]

yeah right.

damn what a hideous notebook

[jagjagin]

were all entitled to our own opinion, you can suck it too.

[izak1992]

UGLYYYYYY

MACBOOK AIR RULZ

[sagat4]

I mean who types with thier legs crossed? thats bad posture

[stevarachi]

Imagine how much hair that cat left on that sofa when she got her ass up!

[MacBookGuy91]

Actually cat hair in my experience does not stick to leather as much as cloth. Not sure about artificial leather though.

[MTown701]

I dont get why people want these very thin laptops they are slow and very expensive

[taylorbobalu]

dell sucks now, go apple!

[j0egas]

Thats retareded. They just put that thing at the bottom for excuse as a stand, but it really hoolds probably half of the insides. So thats the only way they made it thinner. Which looks retareded. but good review

[Snorney]

@j0egas Do not use the word retarded offensively.

[comrade86]

that is one ugly computer

[AvfcForLife123]

@comrade86 seriously i like it

[ReaganManns]

nice cat :P

[ViluR123]

that notebook looks totally ridiculous

[madsipuli]

I just cant see myself getting used to that..

[ParkesyyTech]

I liked the new camera angle at the beginning. You should use it more.

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

@ParkesyyTech I agree

[IPawnNoobz]

4:25 DEATH ANIMAL !!!!! UP THERE

[gate083]

what happens if you have to rest it on a flat surface with only enough room to for the bottom part? (f.ex. a bedroom tables, bar chairs, collapsable tables in airplanes, trains etc.)

[hardcoreplayer1]

it might be the thinest but the mac air is still alot sexyer looking

[512beep]

It sure isn't thin when it's opened up...fail

[sainifabulous]

i know its more powerful but honestly i rather get a mac air. i prefer pc because of the price but price isnt the issue here.

[sainifabulous]

nice couch

[mrabudi1]

i didnt know you had a cat the laptop looks cool plus because its high it wont burn your lap

[Skyler360]

That is one weird laptop. I don't really like it. It looks flimsy and breakable.

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

what desk is that its awesome!!!!

[cytot0x1c]

Looks like this design prevents the laptop from burning your thighs/legs as there is airflow below the laptop, unlike the traditional design

So you can work for longer more comfortably

[Heavykani]

@cytot0x1c But, the small surface area adds more pressure to your legs. The design is stupid. I haven't seen the laptop in person, but I'd say the hinges are going to get all loose and eventually break.

[mt3chords]

Longer? Battery only lasts up to 2 hours.

[darkside97]

i like the normal Adamo its alot better.

[MrNago]

Yep, it really seems like a Mac Air---> PC version. At least, apple gave them the idea.

Hey, competition is good!

[stealthstrudel]

this is the kind of laptop you mess with at bestbuy.

[pablodonate]

imagine you go to ur cousin house, you ask for a computer/laptop to go on ur myspace, & they let you borrow this.... its gonna be a weird situation lol

[loldudeable]

@pablodonate meatspin

[plonker88]

Hello Mercedes

[quito345jay]

i hope this isn't too random, but where you get your couch?

[loldudeable]

@quito345jay meatspin

[Quagmire97]

haha beretta I suppose you are right about that, but isnt the Adamo and M11X doing the very same thing? Even Sonys new Vaios are doing it. Im just saying the new HP Envy with the amazing intel quad core processors are prolly the best macbook pro clone out there. I hope MBPs get a update soon, I really wanna buy one now.

[firedragon360]

im lookin at gettin a new PC laptop...any sugestions??

[loldudeable]

@firedragon360 meat spin is a great one

[Quagmire97]

Dude the Macbook Air sucks balls, but this sucks even more balls. The only good thin laptops are the Macbook Pros, HP Envy, and Sony Vaio.

[BerettaTM]

hp envy is hp envying the macbook's

[rminb010204]

Other than it's significantly better in terms of specs; just because it's a rounded extruded rectangle made out of aluminum doesn't make it a copy.

[thomasmovesinc]

did u do a unboxing of that dell display

[soulsiege]

@03veritas That's a double negative............ So you are basically telling him to wear Hollister o.o''

[daverocker1]

This laptop will not be easier to type on. It would likely be harder. The keyboard forces you to flex your hands back while typing. How is that any easier on you hands?

[thundabolt]

do you have retarded hands?

[xsonicbladex]

I agree, on all the keyboards i've had owned in the past, i've never used the little feet to boost the KB up. Now i use my macbook, and when it's docked i was an apple keyboard. i think because it's so think it doesn't need a wrist rest or a steep angle

[AnderssonEh]

lol that laptop looks so alein D:

[radtwelve]

right! but its cool

[ilovemaryam08]

I hope no guys type with their legs crossed. lol

[DACOJACKO]

kitty!!

[justinaadu]

OMG! His Fiancee is in the background!

[radtwelve]

@justinaadu OMG u mean the cat?!?! aahaha

ANYWAY, does it have a cd/dvd rom? usb ports?

[yayitsezekiel]

@radtwelve watch the first video

[radtwelve]

yea i just did watch the unboxing vid. thanks tho. i might want to have one if it's under $1000

[BerettaTM]

2000+

[yayitsezekiel]

yeah it looks like a nice computer, the way it stands though looks a little interesting though, i'm interested to see if this catches on or not

[xsonicbladex]

no cd/dvd 2 usb pots if i remember correctly

[Aver888]

The most awesome design evar!

[n91guru]

im worried about the things price...

[LesPaulDude09]

yah the macbook air is better performance wise with a lower price and the Adamo XPS is better (in my opinion) better looking (Just because of the keyboard lol) with a bigger price tag

[PABLOX17CR]

I love MERCEDES

[xsonicbladex]

i don't think it's better looking cuz of the retarded bottom, i mean they couldn't even get a whimsey little 1.3 Ghz chip to run without a fan, let alone the macbook's 1.8

[LesPaulDude09]

not to mention its upgradeable to a 2.13 GHz with a no or very weak fan its just a disaster waiting to happen

[xsonicbladex]

the adamo goes up to 2.13? haha wow that'd be hotter than meagan fox ;)

[LesPaulDude09]

no the macbook air is upgradable to 2.13

[xsonicbladex]

that's not really a problem then... it's meant to be passively cooled, no fans, but still designed to have amazing heat dissipation. Apple wouldn't put in such a powerful (warm) chip if it heats up easily.

Dell was the one who limited the processor to 1.3 Ghz, so their the one with the cooling proble,

[SchneiderStudios]

Would you really but that over a Macbook Air? Come on!

[Awesomeaphobic]

Ya cause the macbook air is crap

[luis502078]

You Americans don't know technology.

[SchneiderStudios]

ORLY? Apple.

[TheEVANem]

At 5:09 he said different dituations, not situations. Hahaha.

[korwinblue]

I like the design. It would be interesting if they implement it in conventional laptops.

[pokemaughan]

Thin!

"Thin isn't-"

BUT THIN!

[CoreyRVA]

let me know if it does not work out with your wifey

[iphoneallthetime]

This guy is fucking spoild!!! Hes waring Hollister!!!!!!! Fucker!

[stitso1]

Spoiled? lmao.. you just bought him some more.

[Frezkee]

He's a tech reviewer so hes job is to have the most recent tech... Also he only gets to use this for a month or two as its for review purposes.

[iHackTV]

Actually He Gets to keep because technobuffalo is a pretty popular tech site and he review its there too.. so companies send him latest technology for free to review and he gets to pretty much to keep it ..

[werty1432k]

Actually he says in his unboxing that he will have it for a month or two then it has to go back.

[n91guru]

actually he has to send it back...

UNLESS HE REALLY REALLY wants it, in which case the company will let you keep it for a significantly reduced sum of cash or sometimes even for free. not always though.

how do i know? my best friend is a writer for a gadget blog and i asked him :D (cuz i was jealous lol)

[werty1432k]

If he's spoiled, who then is spoiling him? Jon's worked hard to be where he is today.

[PickYourColor]

@iphoneallthetime Hollister is expensive?

[LoweryWi]

I agree with stevenwhite2010, this is a major fail. who would want a laptop this skinny?

[Frezkee]

good for kitchen multi-use. Use it to find recipes and to cut your cheese and bread.

[stevo17777]

Ugly cheap crap batter from a crap company running the worst software dreaded windows although the pc has improved with windows 7 id still pick mac over a DEll machine any time. the keyboard angle is stupid the whole design is cheap and not worth the money they charge for a third rate piece of trash with a crap chip set and spec. dell has the worst reputation for failing chip sets and badddd customer service amongst the worst in the world.

[xXemolieswithinXx]

=\ ...horrendous

Yeah, i spoke my mind. Thumbs down this comment, i dare you.

[vetteZ06000]

dare taken. whats my prize?

[xXemolieswithinXx]

you win a FREE INTERNETZ!

[Pccw9]

that is a hideous machine.

[vicioustengu]

great video, most posters don't go this in depth

[stevenwhite2010]

This and the MacBook Air are both major fails.

I have a Dell Inspiron and a MacBook Pro.

Both good computers. Although I do like the MacBook Pro more.

I would rather have a little bit of a thicker of a laptop and have it play CDs than to try to have a powerless paper-thin computer.

[Technoguy3]

It's not going to fall forward with standard leg motion? xD Jon's desire to be professional sometimes seems to pour over into smaller words.
