Remember the Dell Adamo? Dell’s slim, stylish 13.4-inch laptop that was supposed to rival the MacBook Air? Apparently, they priced it just a little bit too high when they first launched it last year with a $1,999 starting price so they shaved off $500 from the price a few months later, because it appears no one wanted to pay that much for a notebook that ran on a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo. Now, it seems $1,499 for the whole slim-laptop-with-an-average-spec package was still a bit too pricey, because they just took off another $500, to bring the total price point down to three figures.
To go along with the price cut, Dell gave it a slight spec upgrade too, with the base model now sporting a faster 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor and a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS to go along with 2GBs of DDR3 memory and a 128GB solid state drive to make for an altogether more attractive product.
The upscaled model also received a price-drop from $2,299 to $1,799 today (the premium kit was originally priced at $2,699). It also comes with an OS upgrade (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit), and will pack a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo processor along with 4GBs of DDR3 memory, a 256GB solid state drive, and 3G mobile broadband connectivity in its 1.31-pound, 0.65-inch thick frame.
