Dell 'wiped out' Adamo ultra-thin laptops
After a few strong discounts from $ 2,000 to just $ 800, the US computer maker decided to death the cult brand Adamo that they once aspired to compete with Apple's MacBook Air.
Adamo stopped production because it could not confront the MacBook Air.
According to CNet, first announced at the CES 2009 electronics show, Adamo was identified as a formidable opponent of the MacBook Air - a laptop model that shocked the industry of thinness. Like the Air, it has an aluminum shell, only 16 mm thin, an SSD and a Core 2 Duo power-saving chip.
But with a product claiming to be Apple's rival, the price is too high will be no different from the poison that killed itself. With prices starting at $ 2,000, Adamo does not convince customers because it also lacks optical drives and powerful processors.
The Adamo XPS is no longer sold on Dell's website.
The Adamo XPS - the laptop line also caused more buzz thanks to a record thickness of 9.99 mm - also officially "disappeared" from Dell's booth since November 2010. However, Adamo's design style will still affect Dell's other laptop brands next time.
