It's not going to kill the Air at all, if anything it will make more people want to buy one. Yeah sure it's an ok looking Ultra Thin from Dell, and it does have some things the Air does not, sadly though it lacks a lower price tag, if it had that, this thing would be fantastic.

I don't think the Adamo is going to do all that well,

[AlianceSuck]

I agree Gerry its not going to do well at all... Plus it lacks power for what you would be getting

[Hypothesard]

Lol, Adamo

Less CPU power

Less GPU Power

Heavier (1 pound more) and bigger (WxH)

3 mm thinner than the thickest part of the MBA

More expensive

Machined aluminium and glass, like the MBA and recents unibody, but the packaging is a pound of Acrylic, what's the point of making a "greener computer" in so much "un-green" packaging : the Adamo is not the size of an iPod...

More USB and more battery life, expandable RAM, but unefortunately, probably will be dog slow on Windows Vista (1.2GHz !!!)

Dell doesnt realize that nobody wants a 1.2 ghz C2D in a 2000 dollar package in this economy.

This move might actually HELP macbook air sales.

@TheWMhater Yep, the slower SSD justifies the price... enjoy a fast read speed and nothing else.

@AndresBastidas97 Oh, and I spent 1,500 on my computer, how about you?

[ATLMember]

@AndresBastidas97 So overall, I'll take a Clevo chasis that's higher quality. A single GPU that is as powerful but comsumes less that half the power and doesn't have microstutter due to SLI, or incredble heat, a processor that doesn't throttle after hitting 72 C (thanks dell for that one), and a machine that won't fall apart and comes from a company with half decent customer service. Go to XoticPC, look up Sager models, and enjoy learning how badly you wasted your money. Have fun!

@AndresBastidas97 If you have SLI GTX 260s, you don't have the m15x, or Alienware doesn't sell that model anymore. Also, your laptop is shit, I'd take my Sager and it's one beastly 5870 and all it's DX11 and single GPU glory any day of the week. Plus Sager offers not mobile i7s, but desktop i7s in their 17 inch models. As for RAM, good job wasting your money, unless your running a server, that will get you absolutely nothing.

[ATLMember]

@AndresBastidas97 Lol, no, check Alienware's website, it is "the most powerful Alienware gaming laptop in the universe, the Sager is in fact "the most powerful 15 inch laptop."

[AndresBastidas97]

@ATLMember and well, i just dont want to fight, but alienware isnt overpriced crap, just dont insult other brands because of its price!

[AndresBastidas97]

@ATLMember AND ALIENWARE M15X IS THE MOST POWERFUL 15 INCH GAMING LAPTOP IN THE UNIVERSE!

and tell me... what has your sager got!

[AndresBastidas97]

@ATLMember My alienwatre M15x has:

Intel Core i7 940 QMX Quad... most powerful mobile processor in the world... 3.93Ghz

Dual nVidia GTX 260M each of 1 Gb of dedicated video ram, capable of nvidia 3D vision surround... award winning graphics card

16Gb DDR3 1333 Mhz of RAM... i bet its twice the one in ur sager

WLED 1920 x 1080p 120Hz display with 3d vision technology... i bet ur sager is just a 60Hz LED one...

500Gb SSD

I won this time... admit it...

[ATLMember]

@AndresBastidas97 Just in case you're still unsure, the Sager NP8690 (the computer I bought) is in fact, the most powerful 15 inch notebook in the world.

[ATLMember]

@AndresBastidas97 Hmmm, My Sager has an i7 that doesn't throttle, a ten times better video card than they sell in your Alienware, and it weighs less and has a better screen. Mine isn't thin either, it's probably a little thicker than yours.
