Dell Adamo review

Any chance of a photo of the COA sticker under the magnetic cover behind the screen? I've seen this described but would be interested to see how they've actually done it.

First truly fair Mac vs. PC comparison?

Could you please do an article pitting Adamo the against the MacBook Air? I think these 2 products are probably as close as you could get to a proper 'like-for-like' comparison.

From where I'm standing, the MacBook Air suddenly doesn't seem so 'expensive' and under-specced. Infact compared to the Adamo, it looks positively better value and better designed!

David Bryant - I'm hoping to get a picture of the COA sticker today for you, so I'll put it on the gallery when I get my hands on it. That's a lovely little design touch.

Ihsan - I'm workong on it!

Interior image is now in the gallery

David - I've got a picture of the Adamo's interior, now, showing the magnetic strip and the COA sticker beneath.

It's the seventh image in the gallery at the top of the review.

Hope that's ok!

Cheers! Is it a normal size COA sticker or a smaller one?

COA sticker

David - it looks to be a smaller one to fit in that tiny space!

You're right ihsan but the Air is overpriced and so is the Adamo. I do happen to prefer the styling of the Adamo. It looks amazing. Shame it has Dell written on it though

The problem with macbooks is that they have an apple symbol on them and a smug consumer drone attached.

smug consumer drone?

I'm always fascinated by the attitude of some Windows users to Apple users. While Apple-fans take pot-shots at Windows, the Windows fans take pot-shots at Apple USERS. This sort of bigoted response seems to me to stem from a deep-seated insecurity; they think the Apple guys might be on to something, but they're afraid to make the move because they'd have to go form being a Windows "expert" to an Apple "novice", and that sort of challenge to their innate sense of superiority is too scary to contemplate, so they lash out at the people they secretly envy. You see the same kind of thing in Religious Extremists. Sad really.

Smug?

I've been led to believe that Apple machines just work so you don't need to be an expert?

Personally, I don't envy Apple or people that own their products, but i do feel sad for people that fall for the hype or believe that buying Apple will somehow gain them more friends.
