    I think as long as they undercut the MacBook Air or have better specs for the same price it should do okay.

    Let's just hope they don't stick an Atom processor in there :/

    9.99mm = .39 in"

    lol, thats insanely thin. There's no way that it'll be cheap, undercut the MBA (MBA is thicker), or be able to do much processing power wise.

    By comparison the Dell Adamo is .65" and the Vaio X is .55"

    Considering how "awesomely" priced current Adamo model's are...this new XPS version should be even more "awesome" *cough cough*

    I will be very disappointed if it has only an Atom even the new N470 one.

    Some thoughts:
    - The total height is 9,99mm included the display.
    I have never seen a LED display thinner than 4-5mm. That means that the main body containing the components should be only 5-6mm in height. This is almost unbelievable! But if that is true there is simply no sufficient height for the ports. Even USB ports are 8-9mm in height. The only solution would be an extension dock for the ports!

    - Is this a hint that it will be the first OLED screen notebook? With today technology, only OLED displays can be thinner than the thinnest LED LCD's.

    What do you think?

    I see that most users post on "The Official Adamo Thread" forum.
    I suppose it is better for everyone to continue there.

    I apologize if I opened a new thread. I thought it was more convenient to differentiate it from the old Adamo. If the moderator finds it suitable, he may close this thread.
    Thanks. :)
