See that? That's Dell's Phil Bryant and Michael Tatelman briefly displaying what they described as an "entirely new model line" of thin-and-light laptops without any further comment at an event in Paris this morning. If that sounds like a replay of the poorly-received Adamo teaser at CES with old dudes instead of models, well, you're right -- Tatelman even referenced the negative Adamo reaction but said "we're going to try this again." Good plan. At least this time we don't have to wildly guess at what we're seeing: we're almost positive that's a pair of those Intel CULV-based ultraportables rumored to be released in August, and unless Dell's foolishly keeping with the Adamo theme, we'd assume specs and prices will match up with Acer's Timeline series. Keep a sharp eye, we'll let you know.
sometimes hot men need love too you know?
Really? Women think these guys are hot?
Not this girl.
The only hot grandpa is Steve Jobs =)
Are they going to make the Adamo in 17" screen with 1920x1200 resolution? That's what I'm looking for. Something as thin and "light" as a mac book pro, but w/ windows running. is there such a thing now?
Yeah, a 17in MBP running Bootcamp
Yup, it's a great machine. Runs Windows where it belongs too, safely contained inside VMWare Fusion.
Pick me and I will time all the economic recoveries!!!
Man, they need to hire those asian girls from the Samsung product photos.
Hhhmmmm, let's kill off the Mini9 and rebrand it as a new Thin-n-Lite.
The pink one is the culv Mini 11.
or maybe the black one is.
NEITHER of these guys is THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD...

lol.
Dell needs somebody to copy, that's why they failed so bad with the Adamo. Now they are trying again, and as luck would have it Acer's TimeLine is here to copy from. Should be a resounding success this time around.
Dell is proud of not having a R&D department, after all. Michael Dell said so himself.
BTW Engadget - I have changed my account picture about a month ago. It appears changed on my profile page. So how come it's still the old one on all my comments?
FAIL
If they are showing off light and thin laptops maybe they should hold them so you can see how thin they are.
From the top they just look like any other laptop.
