After months of rumour build-up, Dell finally unveiled the first machine from the Adamo by Dell line, which it claims to be the world's thinnest laptop.


Derived from the Latin word meaning "to fall in love", the Adamo is only 0.65 inches thin, making it an out and out competitor for Apple's MacBook Air.


This beautifully crafted, solid product is built with tough, machined-aluminium and almost no plastic.


It features a 13.4-inch High Definition display made of glass, which also sports a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam.

Although being super-thin, this Adamo does not compromise on connector ports like the MacBook Air, with enough ports available to be productive, including an RJ45 ethernet port and optional Mobile Broadband connectivity. Its DVD+/-RW or Blu-ray disc drive is however external.


The machine's keyboard looks sexy with 'scalloped' keys, making typing comfortable and is even backlit to help you type in dark places.


Made for the style-conscious, the Adamo is available in Pearl and Onyx colours - The pearl version features a unique, elegant etching design while the Onyx version sports a distinguished brushed finish.


This ultra-thin portable is available for pre-order today at prices starting at US$1,999 and will ship worldwide on March 26th 2009.

Dell's Wasabi (Ink-less) Photo Printer

Dell's new Wasabi PZ310 Ultramobile Photo Printers are HOT, just like the Japanese spice that its named after.

Available online now, these lightweight, compact printers let you print your photos on the spot, anywhere and everywhere.

Besides being very easy to use, the most amazing thing about this device is that it will never run out of ink as it doesn't require any ink!



The Wasabi prints using the award winning, innovative ZINK Paper, otherwise known as Zero Ink Paper. These are advanced composite materials embedded with yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals. The printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals, making the printing process radically simple.



The printer holds up to 12 sheets of adhesive-backed Zero Ink Paper at one time, and what's more, since there is no ink, you won't have to worry about smudging your prints as it's dry as soon as it's printed.



This cool little device requires no software updates or complicated drivers to install. Simply connect it to your phone via Bluetooth, or to your digital camera via the PictBridge USB and you're ready to print.



The Dell Wasabi PZ310 Ultramobile Photo Printer costs US$99 and is available in pink, blue and black. It is the fourth product from the partnership between Dell and ZINK Imaging.
