Dell's Adamo Admire Sheds In Price

Its hardly been a year since Dell introduced its delectable Adamo Admire and here we are a year later, a thunderous thousand dollars less; Indeed, Dell's Air finally deserves some consumer love. Housed in a glorious sleek, slim factor, Admire nets you a more-than-enough 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, a mighty 128GB SSD drive, 2GB of RAM, and a glistening copy of Windows 7 Home Premium.

In today's PC market, price makes all the difference. Anyone seeking a highly mobile and capable notebook, at a staggering affordable price, should definitely consider Dell's ultraportable.

You can read 3rdWorldJargon's harsh mini-review here at a time when Admire still screamed a mortifying $2,000 SRP.

Andy's Australian Win

Steven Tyler has found his match in tennis superstar, Andy Murray; After beating Marin Cilic during the Australian Open Semis, Andy goes complete emo, chest bared, in declaration of his hard-earned win; he should've kept his mouth shut.

iPad Unleashed

So after years of anticipation Apple finally lets loose its own overly hyped tablet to the masses -- and the initial reaction? Universally bland, and if truth be told, surprisingly disappointing. The iPad, a colossal mistake of a name, plays around with a decent 1GHz customized processer, no camera, NO flash support, and worst of all, absent of multi-tasking capabilities. Really Apple? You market iPad to consumers as a supposed alternative to the ever-versatile netbook, which, feature-wise, your device obviously can’t match.

Geekdom majority sincerely wants to ‘like’ Apple’s new product, but no matter how one twists and bends one’s desire to purchase such a sexy device, consumers can’t help but feel appalled at the idea of shelling out 500 to 800 dollars for an incomplete and ultimately confused mobile contraption.

Reminiscing Raul Roco

Endlessly scoured for this vid, finally, a copy of Raul Roco’s TVC ad to proliferate and impart to the global populace. It is, by leaps and bounds, the best composition for any Philippine presidential candidate hitherto (ooh, deep word... yes, an outright attempt to declare the author's supposed above average intellect).

Dell Adamo XPS

Oh Dell, you and your antics to overthrow the reigning thin and light can easily be perceived as a desperate, hopeless endeavor. The first Adamo was a futile attempt to sway buyers to sleep with an obviously underpowered notebook. Even the Air failed miserably to justify a logical purchase -- although a niche of egotistical, price-apathetic lot did embrace the Air's shortcomings (the author apparently was an advent believer of the Air’s enigmatic powers).

By releasing another Adamo in a more perplexing and bizarre chassis, made worse by a quirky and painful level of usability, Dell just created one of the ugliest, most expensive mobile devices in the market today. Harsh it may seem to discredit a notebook that hasn't seen the light of the day, but one can’t blame to question the PC giant’s sanity and overall strategy.

For what it’s worth, here are the specs: it’ll run a questionable 1.4GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a lowly GS45 integrated graphics, but with an encouraging 4GB of DDR3 RAM and 128GB SSD. It also sports an expected 13.4 inch display and your standard array of ports. And if you’re wondering how long this overpriced contraption lasts, the low end model has a measly 2 hours and a half lifespan, while the higher end extends it to a more acceptable 5 hours. Though cheaper than its predecessor, it comes at a hefty $1,799.

To Dell's credit though, the new Adamo does trump the Air's overall thickness. This fugly device measures a mind-numbing 0.39 inches -- approximately half the size of Apple's baby -- a bright spot Dell should be proud of.
