I'll agree, at first i was like damn, i want it, but the more i look at it. it's not worth it at all. Really uncomfortable looking form factor. I really hope this doesn't catch on. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/Dec 10th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/
Actually it sits better than any other laptop since air vents are not blocked by your lap.]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/I don't see how that makes it more stable/comfortable. Bottom air-vents on a laptop are a major design flaw, and should be corrected by moving the vents rather than.. a bike-stand..]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/It just won't sit in your lap, i think it kinda just "stands" on your lap?

I always disliked when i use keyboards that are "raised", so this laptop design is a no-go for me. Dell wants to decrease the thickness of these laptops by adding an appendix at the end of the screen like in the Adamo or at the back of the laptop, like in the Vostro V13, we have enough with the protruding batteries.]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/
Seems an odd design. They should have the vents on the rear and find a way to make it fold normal for lap use and then somehow have an extending option for placing on a flat solid surface. As it is now that seems like it would feel un-secured on your lap as you type. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/Dec 10th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/Dec 10th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/

That's a contradiction since people buy MacBooks and the like. Are you projecting this instance on Windows manufacturers? (you probably are)

In any case, I've had my Extensa 4630z by Acer, and I performs well and above considering I paid $599 for it. Not to mention the C2D I put in it could run rings around the AXPS. It's a "high-quality notebook" to me.

But go ahead, keep trying to dictate to the world that you have to shell out more than your neighbor for "high-quality".]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/Dec 10th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/Dec 10th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/
I just don't get this "formfactor" at all. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/
Must be great for air flow and cooling however.

If I were to get that spendy on a laptop however, I'd probably end up getting a MBP and a copy of Windows 7. Then again, I have a desktop at work, a desktop on my living room at home a netbook with URN 9.04 for the odd time when I'm at neither places so a laptop isn't particularly necessary for me.]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/dells-adamo-xps-now-shipping-to-some-and-weve-got-pics-to-pro/

Not really, while they both use a Chiclets style keyboard, they both have their differences.

You DO know Sony came up with that style of keyboard first, right?
