I was originally going to have the title of this review be “Hands On with the Dell Adamo 13” but I realized that laptops, notebooks and netbooks are really a dime a dozen these days. While the innards of a laptop can be very similar, what I think sets many laptops apart are their design, functionality and aesthetics. There are very few laptops that truly excel in these points, I think that Apple and Sony are ones to look at as good examples.
Then I laid my hands, I mean eyes, on the Dell Adamo. Now Dell is part of that list.
So, to get this out of the way first, I’m not going to write a complex and detailed review of the technology that is under the hood or the device’s performance. There are plenty of those reviews out there and they will probably do a much better job at it. Nor am I going to write a post on how to change the Adamo into a Hackintosh nor install other flavors of Linux on it (to replace Vista that came installed). I definitely think that a Windows 7 upgrade would be in order though. Windows XP would simply not have good enough eye-candy to warrant running it (while it probably would perform better than Windows Vista).
