I think the OP wanted to refer to Gizmodo's review:

My favorite quote from that review:
"The Adamo has a few fantastic features: Integrated 3G, eSATA, and a butt that just won't quit."
LOL.

mhnajjar took what I was going to say via Gizmodo.
It's without a doubt a sexy computer, but its internal specs are nothing to scream over.
I'll take a MBA anyday.
adamo taken apart ..
Engadget posted a story about Adamo tear down taken from a TechRepublic article, which features some comparison shots and commentary with the MacBook Air.

Am I the only person that finds the Adamo to be...hideous?
It looks like it's trying to hard. The butt it ugly, and I don't get the random, Swiss cheese looking holes poked into it. The body looks too box-like. The top looks lame and it just tries too hard. The inside looks cheap, the keyboard's font looks cheesy, and the trackpad is small. The laptop's design in one area is inconsistent with the rest of the computer. It just tries too hard.
Now, the MacBook Air is miles ahead in sexiness. It's sexy and it doesn't try to be. It just is. It's clean, consistent, elegant, and I love the tapered design.
The Adamo fails in every single way.

It's 33% heavier? If it were the same weight or lighter or not that ugly, I would care to look at it.
dell laptop for 1699 pounds (2795 US dollars )
I saw this dell laptop yesterday. I dont see the point why it has such high price tag. Maybe I m missing sth.

Yes, but they were designed under the same concept. Also I believe that Engadget reported the other day that the price had dropped $500.
I know it is like MBA but high end MBA is £1,349.00 which is 350 pounds ( 579 dollars ) less.
I was really surprised when I saw it.

Its one of those stupid luxury computers like the HP Voodoo laptop. They arent concerned about making a profit from selling them, theyre just for showing off and getting brand recognition.
