The Adamo laptop from Dell is a union of advanced technology and exquisite design. It’s ultra slim (we like) making it easy to carry around and has a decent size 13.4 inch widescreen. It comes in a choice of silver aluminium with unique etching and pearl finish or onyx aluminium with brushed finish. This really is a super sexy looking laptop for the style conscious amongst us. As it is one of Dell’s premium laptops it is quite pricey but not that much more than you could expect to pay for a high spec MacBook.
