Dell Studio XPS 13 gets pictured; more info on Adamo leaked

Rumor

It appears as if Dell is trying to change its image from boxy and plain to sleek and sexy. Engadget got a hold of some photos of the leather-clad Studio XPS 13 laptop and it is a knock out. If the external photos don’t impress you the internals should as the Studio XPS 13 will come loaded with the latest Intel Montevina chipset, hybrid SLI graphics, slot-loading Blu-ray drive with HDMI, integrated Mobile broadband, edge-to-edge glass display with optional RGB LED backlighting, illuminated keyboard, capacitive multimedia buttons, integrated Gigabit networking, SATA/USB combo slot, webcam and a biometric fingerprint reader.  Still think it is just the same old Dell with a little bit of leather on top? Then you best hold onto your hats because Dell has another beauty, codenamed Adamo, in store for us in 2009. We fist told you about it earlier this morning but the boys at Engadget have managed to dig up some more rumors on what could be one of the sexiest laptops of 2009. Adamo, according to their sources, will be the introduced as the “world’s thinnest laptop”, presumably dethroning the MacBook Air. Adamo will have a black and silver color scheme similar to the XPS 13 but with a different overall design. It was expected to be released in Q4 2008 but has been pushed back until February 2009 at the earliest. No pictures of Adamo yet but you can drool over a few more shots of the XPS 13 after the jump.

    if they can throw in a nice gfx card, then i’ll scoop this up. my MBP is starting to fuck up. think it needs to retire.

    Looks sleek, but after all the f***ery I’ve been through with my M1330 I’m never buying another DELL again.

  • truman

    how about xohm?

    how about offering it with ubuntu?

  • vtechonda

    I’m with Turman, how about offering it with something other then Windows.
    I got my Macbook Air sitting here next to my MBP, and it doesn’t look slimmer to me…
    If it is any slimmer then the Air, it’s going to look sick…

    Oooow, Dell. You so sessy!

  • Mr. Hi-Definition

    Wow and I just bought a HP Mini 1000. Looks like I might have to reconsider… Might just have to test this baby out in person and see how it is. It looks real sexy though. I can’t wait.

    I hope they offer a version without leather. I do not like leather on my electronics.

  • MaxPayne79

    That’s pretty pimpin’ right there. I dig the leather. Ubber retro. Takes me back to the 70′s. Wait, i was born in the year of Apocalypse Now so, nevermind..lol.

    I wish too it would come with something besides Windows “rubbish” os, but i doubt that’s gonna happen. Too bad it doesn’t have wood grain instead of plastic on the back of the screen. And make some of the external body aluminum as well. That would be awesome.

    But does sound like a serious entry in the battle against macbooks and/or The Air.

    Looking forward to developments on this one :)
    Thanx kell.

    Honestly, I REALLY don’t know WTF is the big deal about a thinner notebook. WHO CARES how ” THIN ” it is, the XPS M1330 is already too thin, all anyone should care about is WEIGHT, not how ”THIN” the stupid damn thing is!!! For crist sakes, pretty soon it will be as flexable and ”THIN” as a f**king piece of card board! WHO THE F**K Cares? Just make it light. I just don’t understand why we need ‘thinner” notebooks. The MAC AOL user made for computer novice only AIR is already too thin, cheap, flimy & very expensive, something only a CN AOLer would go OHHH and AHH over.

    This Studio XPS 13 will do just fine, it’s THIN ENOUGH. Hey DELL, don’t screw this one up like the Latitude E4200/4300 with crap LCD screens & you may have a winner. I will never understand how Dell can make the M1330 with some of the most beautiful LED LCD screens I ever seen on a notebook, then turn around and make the MORE EXPESIVE HIGHER END LINE E4200/4300 with the worst CRAP LED LCD I’ve ever seen!!! DOH!!! Typical DELL!! DUH!

    I got the notebook and have absolutely no complaints. It is an amazing notebook and it hasn’t shown any issues so far. Dell service has been excellent as well.
