Dell Adamo vs. MacBook Air

adamo

From the Latin, mean­ing ‘to fall in love’” vs. from the Eng­lish, mean­ing very lightweight.

So, Dell came out with a new lap­top.

The designer dis­cusses his inspi­ra­tions in a YouTube video “...the use of kin­dling mate­r­ial...” And the back­ground music on the video is so ten years ago.

Adamo was cre­ated to elicit desire...” I wouldn’t call that a wor­thy goal in pro­duc­ing a prod­uct. (Hello? Function?)

1.2 ghz for $2000?! Com­pare that to the 1.6 ghz Air for $1800. Well, there is no com­par­i­son. (Admit­tedly, the Dell has a flash hard drive, which would bring the Air up to $2300.)

And yes, Dell fol­lowed Apple a mere 14 months later. (Remem­ber, in com­puter time, that’s 27 years.)

    i was read­ing up on this just yestur­day. it made me laugh. Mac book Air would never do all that i wanted a lap­top to do. But hon­estly, dell try­ing to copy it is sim­ply stu­pid. They are NEVER going to get one up on apple design ever! and the price tag is stu­pidly high, and for £500 ($100 at the mo ;) ) you can get a bet­ter lap­top, just it will be in black, and maybe a lit­tle heavier.
