Dell anounced today the Dell Adamo XPS,a laptop measuring 9.99mm or just four-tenths of an inch.

Adamo XPS is a stunning laptop whose design provides a unique experience. With the swipe of a finger, the keyboard appears from under the display as the system is open. The feature set challenged engineers to build the latest technology into a compact space, including: 4GB DDR3 800 memory; Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4Ghz) ultra-low voltage processor; thin 128GB SSD and a 720p 13.4-inch WLED display display.

The attention to detail is apparent in the black, jewelry box-like packaging that is as striking as the laptop itself. A tug on a cloth loop reveals the Adamo XPS and assorted accessories that accompany the system.

Adamo, derived from the Latin word meaning "to fall in love," is a flagship in a line of products created to disrupt the personal computing space with the combination of new design aesthetics, personalization choices and sought-after technologies.

The Adamo by Dell brand was launched last March with the first Adamo laptop, which combined high-performance technologies in an aluminum case only .65-inch thick.

Other features of the new Adamo laptop include a built-in location awareness to provide real time local maps to show people where they are; replaceable battery; full size keyboard with aluminum keycaps, touchpad with gestures; 802.11n wireless; display port, 2xUSB 2.0, audio, Ethernet (via included dongle).

The pencil-thin Adamo XPS weighs just over 3 pounds and measures 13.39 x 10.71 inches. Dell expects to begin taking orders and shipping the Adamo XPS with Microsoft Windows 7 pre-installed in time for the holidays. The Adamo XPS is priced starting at $1799.
