Dell unveils Adamo; still heavily veiled
Dell chose the final weekday of CES 2009 to take the wraps off its rumor-riddled Adamo premium notebook, but took a very odd approach when doing so. During a press event a short while ago, Dell made a few announcements as media attendees awaited news of the Adamo. When the time finally came, Dell revealed that Adamo is in fact its new luxury line as opposed to a single model and displayed an unbelievably sexy notebook that represents the first in the Adamo series. The problem? The company revealed absolutely nothing about it. It’s sleek, it’s dark, it looks gorgeous and that’s just about all she wrote. Even during the short hands-on time after the event, no one was permitted to boot the device or really do anything short of snapping a few shots besides Engadget. So all we know for sure is that we’re looking at display of approximately 13″, 3 USB ports and an eSATA jack. Also, it’s definitely not thinner than the MacBook Air as had been speculated, though we don’t carry our laptop around in a manila envelope so a tiny bit of bulk is hardly an issue. The rest remains a mystery – no word on pricing, the processor, available configurations or anything else. The Adamo model shown off at the Dell press event will be made available some time in 1H 2009. Are we excited? Thanks to a stunning lack of information, we really have no idea.
Hit the jump for more pics.
Will glossy screens ever die?
I wonder if there is any video out or a docking station port on this thing.
Dude that thing looks exactly like the new Macbooks, just look at the the in this video link http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/154/10.013
It’s a Black Mac!
Wow!!!! A black Macbook that says Dell instead of Macbok. Impressive.
How can you call it “premium” when it will run Windows only?
This what Apple gets for not making a black Macbook. The people have been asking and Dell answered. lol.
@Maliek,
No black MacBook? I must have seen the fake black MacBooks at apple.

It seems that it is not ready for prime time just yet, Dell just wanted to get a little buzz. Why else would they not allow booting the device?
@ drunknbass
Yes, you have been seeing the fake ones. lol.
This looks like a black macbook. The back is incredibly ugly though.
Design is boring we need more for 2009
Screen should be smaller… make it a premium netbook with hi-res(1080 on a 10″)
I like what looks like unpolished metal, but maybe thats the ‘prototype’ lol
Would be nice to have one of those thinkpad,(dell d-series) nub mouse thing in the keyboard.
It’s the MAC-ification of Dell. Quite the comedown for Micheal to be openly copying Apple styling. Not surprised though.
Well put Bernard.
It’s the new dellbook! Better yet, the pcbook! rofl
