Dell is releasing the new Adamo XPS today and I was given an exclusive opportunity to shoot it prior to the official launch.
It is a work of style and elegance.
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…

While at SXSW I was granted a unique, exclusive opportunity to photograph the new Dell Adamo “in the wild” shortly before its official launch. The pictures on flickr and the tweet that pointed to them caused a flurry of excitement.
The Gadget Guy Dave Mathews and Gregarious Greg Narain stopped by my hotel somewhere around 5 a.m. to shoot impromptu video following a long night of SXSW festivities.
Enjoy!
Here’s the full specs/link to the original story on bub.blicio.us, “Thinner Than Air.”

Dell is putting the sexy back in Windows, or maybe finally introducing it, with its new Adamo series of ultra-thin, style-conscious notebooks.
I’m in Austin, hosting the Techset + Windows Mobile Blogger Lounge at #SXSW and I was given a unique opportunity to test drive the brand new Adamo that previewed during CES 2009.
Adamo is Latin for “To fall in love.”
The new Adamo is extremely beautiful, rivaling the innovation and design revolution that fueled the newer generations of Macbooks and iMacs.
It features some truly stunning design features, starting with the “cloud like” floating packaging, that are indicative of the company’s commitment to innovation inside and out. They’re strikingly beautiful, subtly bold, stylish, elegant, and they’re definitely make a statement. And, the Adamo is thinner than the Macbook Air.
“Dell is currently endeavoring on a journey of design, and the Dell Adamo is the pinnacle that sets the stage for this experience and our next generation of products,” Dell’s John Pope exclaimed in the blog lounge at SXSW.

Dell hosted a press conference in the Fantasy Suites of the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas where they announced a series of new products. Perhaps the real news and excitement at the event wasn’t what was announced, but what wasn’t announced.
The much-rumored Dell Adamo made a brief, but very real, in-person appearance this morning and it sent waves throughout the consumer electronics press and blogosphere. It’s the company’s first foray into the luxury electronics market and it has already been positioned as the Macbook Air killer.
It features some truly stunning design features that are indicative of the company’s commitment to innovation inside and out. They’re strikingly beautiful, subtly bold, stylish, elegant, and they’re definitely make a statement. And, the Adamo is thinner than the Macbook Air.
Perhaps it was my charm, pure luck, or serendipitous timing, but I was given exclusive permission to not only shoot the Adamo, but also visually confirm that there are both black and white models queued up to hit the market soon. In fact, these are the first pro-quality public shots available of the Adamo and also the first pictures allowed of the white version.
