    Hi Guys,

    I'm planning to purchase Dell Adamo for myself. On Dell's website there are 2 versions the Dell Adamo and Dell Adamo 13 XPS...I'm not able to get difference between the two..
    I did notice the 4GB RAM, 2.0mp Cam on XPS but normal Adamo has 40WHr battery opposed to 20Whr on XPS...so is battery life on XPS half of normal Adamo
    Other than that..what are the other differences to justify the $300 price gap between the two?

    Also the 3yr extended warranty plan on normal Adamo cost whooping $450...while for Adamo XPS its only $270. Is there any cheaper way of buying extended warranty for normal Adamo?

    One more thing, is the 20% Bing cashback valid on Dell Adamo also?

    And are there any proper reviews done for Adamo? Are there any major issues with it...apart from it being expensive?

    Regards,

    The Adamo XPS is much thinner and has a bigger "wow" factor. It's also about 1lb lighter. The better specs and this basically justify the $300.
    The XPS can be equipped with a 40WHr battery if you choose, for an additional amount. Reviews indicate the XPS has around 2.5hrs of real world use.

    You could consider an extended warranty for the Adamo from a 3rd party, but I'm not really sure where to point you on this one. As for the Bing cashback, I have no idea.

    There's an Adamo XPS review on Engadget, and I think they probably did a Adamo review around a year ago.
    I'd personally go for the XPS, since your goal obviously isn't performance, but style.
