    wow I have a mini 9 and if an adamo 9 came out I would probably want to replace my mini 9 with the adamo :eek:

    If this is true... Which I think is possible. I have been thinking there may be an adamo 16 sometime in the future also :D

    At the moment, we only know it offers a 8.9" screen. We just found out that it may exist. Maybe we'll find out more tomorrow in addition to the release of the Adamo 13.

    The Adamo family?:

    Adamo 9
    Adamo 13
    Adamo 16

    more manufacturers are going 10" now for netbooks, 8.9" is slowly being phased out.

    i think the adamo 9 is unlikely, but who knows

    Yea I would prefer an adamo 10.
    that would be more consistance IMO 10", 13", 16".
    I actually think they should make them in groups of 2" apart.

    10", 12", 14", 16", 18"... or 10", 11", 12", 13", 14", 15", 16", 17", 18" :p

    Dummity dum.... Dummity dum.... Dummity dum, dummity dum, dummity dum :p

    Since the Adamo 13 costs perhaps three times the price of an Inspiron 13, presumably the Adamo 9 would cost an awful lot more than a Mini 9. How much would you pay for one?

    Here's another link showing a different screenshot with more computers listed.

    Curiously (or maybe not), I don't see any new regular-sized Inspirons listed in either screenshot. They can't possibly be phasing them out, but I was hoping they'd be updating/releasing a refresh in the very near future. It just seems like with their current "10 days of deals" sale and the timing, it looks like they're trying to get rid of their current stocks to make room for something new. I could be looking into this way too much, it's just that I remember buying my current laptop at around the same time (spring) &situation (release of a new line) as now a couple years ago.

    Yeah, and if and when a 9" Adamo is released...if the pricing is anything like the pricing on the Adamo 13...what a huge let down that will be. :(

    When it happens it happens....

    I suppose the target consumer for an Adamo 9 would be a Sony Vaio P series buyer rather than a Mini n buyer.
