[understatement alert]
Dell is not known for it’s slim, fast, and stylish notebook pc’s.
[/alert]
They hope to change that with the new Adamo, billed as the worlds thinnest pc.
Think MAC Air, running Vista…
In the gushing review by the BBC’s tech blogger, Darren Waters, describing Dell’s new Adamo design ethos, I found this odd remark -

Some of the legal notices will be hidden under a removable panel, which was created purely so the legal notices could be hidden from view.

And where were their lawyers hiding when this decision was made?

Adamo Means Love
New Laptop from Hell – er, Dell
