14 DAY TRIAL // Ultrathin laptops may be known for being more expensive compared to stronger but thicker and heavier notebooks, but Dell figured it would try to make this less true for the Adamo 13, a model that has been on sale for quite a while.
Ultrathin laptops are intended for business users that frequently travel and whose purposes are not well enough served by netbooks.
Whether they are just too slow, small or insufficiently aesthetically-pleasing, netbooks don't always meet the requirements of some customers.
Ultrathin notebooks, on the other hand, have larger screens and are quite light and fashionable, in some users' eyes at least, albeit much more expensive.
Not long ago, Dell lowered the price of its Adamo 13 while also giving its hardware a small boost, so as to keep up with the growing standards of the target consumer base.
Currently, the machine has, at its heart, an Intel Core 2 Duo SL9600 central processing unit (CPU), which has a clock speed of 2.1 GHz.
This component is a significant improvement over the SU9300 it previously sported and which ran at 1.2 GHz.
The chip is backed up by 4 GB of RAM and paired with the GMA (graphics media accelerator) X4500 integrated graphics.
Additionally, Dell offers, for storage, a solid state drive whose internal capacity is of 128 GB, while a 6 cell 40 WHr Lithium Polymer Battery keeps everything running.
As for connectivity, the product boasts WiFi (Intel 5300 WLAN 802.11n (3x3) Mini Card or Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA Mini Card for AT&T), plus Bluetooth.
Other specifications include a 1.3 megapixel webcam, a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels for the 13.4-inch screen and a weight of 1.8 kg.
Finally, the PC supplier pre-loaded the Adamo 13 with Windows 7 Home Premium and lowered its price tag from $1,099 to $899.
