About two months ago, Dell hinted that the company is working on a successor for its retired Adamo thin and light laptop and it now seems like this new notebook model is expected to arrive in just a few weeks' time.
The yet-unnamed product line will debut with a 15.6-inch model that will be the thinnest in its class and it will be powered by Intel's latest Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs built on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
In addition, the
notebook will also feature a high-resolution display and is built using special materials, all without surpassing the $1000 US price mark.
“This is the first in a series of products where [Dell is] going to focus on ultra-performance and ultrathin,” told
Cnet News one source close to Dell.
“This is not a one-time product. This is a full commitment to a product category that is focused on thin and powerful," added the same source.
According to Cnet News, the new notebook will be positioned as a prosumer model that will offer both performance and style.
The decision to launch the line with a 15.6-inch notebook is a very strange one, but
Dell plans to expand its product range with a few other models which will come in different sizes.
Dell's original Adamo ultra-thin laptop was discontinued earlier this year as all throughout its life was criticized for its high price and low-performing hardware.
The main reason for its low performance was the use of Intel's ULV line of Core 2 Duo processors that featured limited clocks speeds.
Going for Intel's
Sandy Bridge processors will most certainly provide quite a significant speed improvement and the sub $1000 price tag should make Adamo's successor quite popular among consumers, provided that Dell doesn't take any shortcuts.
