Dell Adamo Review- The luxury laptop for businessman

Dell Adamo laptop is placed in line of luxury for the elite to the exterior design is extremely impressive. According to the Latin, Adamo meaning love (fall in love with).

Configuration of the Dell Adamo is optimized for ultra-thin design of it. Equipped with power-saving processor Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 (with only 10W TDP), Samsung 128GB SSD is the same feature when looking at the configuration of the Adamo we're holding in your hands.

In addition, it is equipped with 2GB of RAM, screen size 13.4 inch mirror resolution of 1366 × 768, the wireless connection such as WiFi and 3G (optional extra upgrade). Adamo Dell is not equipped with an optical drive mounted machine, you can use an external optical drive via USB connection to monitor content stored on optical disks in case of necessity. Here are some of Adamo configuration that you should know before we start going into more details.

Design review

Dell did not point to a generation of "MacBook Air ," the new and it is clear that Adamo is designed with unique features and style is different than the Macbook Air.

Entire body was designed from a solid frame with laser cutting is that we still often called "unibody case." The body was elaborately worked for Adamo keep their slender appearance, while ensuring the certainty of a high-end laptop.

Colors, Dell Adamo only two versions: Onyx Black and Pearl White. If the version of Onyx is the black aluminum face on the ground scratching, it Pearl versions are decorated with pretty flowers and unique luxury. To tell the truth is very difficult to determine Pearl or Onyx better ...

Underside is fully lined in a thin aluminum sheets to shield the body parts inside. The ability to upgrade your RAM or hard drive with almost impossible. This short piece cover secured to the machine by means of a special wrench, if you're curious Adamo flung open, please refer iFixit.com, they have quite a detailed article on how to open Adamo.

Dell Adamo rectangular shape with a length of 13.03 inches (33.1cm), width 9.5 inches (24.13cm), thickness 0.65 inches (1.65cm) evenly from front to back machine. I like the design of the MacBook Air over Dell Adamo. Apple has "play way" when designing the Macbook Air with slim body was clawed on the front edges, this allows them to advertise the MacBook Air is the thinnest laptop in the world with a thickness of at least 0:16 inch thin (4mm .) However, the later "stout" than to have a thickness of 0.76 inch (1.93cm).

Speaking of weight, weight Adamo Dell alone the machine is 1.8kg, a little bit heavier than a machine with 13-inch screen sizes other advanced.

Most of the communication port of Dell Adamo was moved behind the nape of the machine, separate sound output is arranged on the right side. This is actually a pretty smart design as it allows the machine to provide adequate basic communication ports, and create enough space so you can attach a USB plug or the most comfortable way.

However, when used, the arrangement of these ports at back neck revealed a defect, it is you really have to stand up or try to turn the machine can operate with this interface. It is true that a little inconvenient.

You will easily notice that the square hole cut in the shape of the area near the gate signal. Serves as a point in the design of Adamo, the holes also assume the heat escape task for machines.

Looks the same luxury features unique decoration, impressed thin, very sturdy hard to make you irresistible to the bird and Dell Adamo experience at least once.

Keyboard and Touchpad

Dell's keyboard is designed according to Adamo scallop, confess that I did not feel like a scallop at all. All of Dell Adamo keys are made of aluminum, size, face down, flat on the keyboard font is quite special. Adamo Dell keyboard is equipped with an LED backlight system to illuminate the bottom of the keyboard in the dark. However, Pearl version with white keys on the LED lights in back-lit conditions cause discomfort, the key words became more difficult to see. The simple solution is to turn off the backlight, but nonetheless, I still to this is a small defect in the design of its own version of Pearl.

The keys are arranged logically group including home-end keys, page up-down located next page. Sleep is key though not explicitly specify, but you can press Fn + ECS to put the machine into sleep state, or simply fold the screen down.

Good feeling when typing, but not really impressed. Amplitude of the surface mobile short keys, but in return the good, the key is not stuck or have any defects something unpleasant to the user.

Dell Touchpad Adamo has reasonable size, maximizing the width of the shelf break, but arranged so unreasonable. In terms of aesthetics, the touchpad is located right between ensuring the balance of the machine, but in principle, it should be translated to the left a little problem when typing you will not accidentally touch the touchpad. Especially with the touchpad's sensitivity as Adamo, this is annoying when operations.

Surface touchpad worked fine, smooth and feeling of good mouse hand even when wet. In addition, the touchpad that supports multi-touch mode, but the operation is limited and not very sensitive. It is very significant complaint is Dell's touchpad Adamo very often or because they, especially the patients' rat run haphazard "and self-enabled multi-touch manipulation even if I only use one finger each. I tried installing several different driver versions but still can not overcome this situation, hopefully this is just an error occurs on machines that I am testing.

In short, if the Dell keyboard Adamo was assessed 6 + / 10 for the touchpad and it's hard to really point 4 if all the machines are similar to the touchpad

Monitors and Speakers

Dell designed of Adamo screen with a large slab  mirror covered the entire screen and only leaving a very thin aluminum contour of the frame. The screen is quite thin LED backlight, but the frame is designed to reinforce the relative certainty. Resolution of the screen is 1366 × 768, reasonable for the computer screen about 13 inches or less. According to my experience, the Dell Adamo screen for bright colors, sharp images and has shown very good viewing angle.

Dell also equip Adamo technology called "Light Sensor" that allows adjusting the screen brightness based on lighting conditions in the region put it. However, with only one sensor is extremely sensitive even if you accidentally tilt your head to hide the sensor also adjusts screen brightness and flicker just like low voltage, not like about this.

Talk about this issue, Apple design Light Sensor for Mac is excellent, the machine is equipped with three sensors placed at three positions apart on the edge of the screen. When all three are confirmed ambient light changes, the new self-adjusting screen brightness, which overcome most of the cases to which it has a sensor (as Adamo) encountered.

Adamo's external speakers are not too bad, average volume, enough for you to relax in the personal workspace. Sound quality is equivalent to most laptops with the sound quite high, while the bass and high sound currency. I remained loyal to the idea headset for laptop users, or more certainty you will not bother you if more people are working nearby.

Using time, temperature and noise level

Adamo Dell Battery Li-ion Polymer format allows them to change the shape of the batteries as you like. Battery is mounted inside the machine and can not be removable or replaced without the help of technical experts. According to our tests, when used in normal mode web surfing with about 15 tabs are open, the average screen brightness, Wi-Fi open, Dell Adamo head is 3 hours and 36 minutes, not too impressed. Experiment with the 720p HD video  about 2 hours 46 minutes.

Speaking of temperatures during use, Dell Adamo be classified as heat when used in normal conditions, no air conditioning, no fans. But the advantage is its heat across the surface of the machine, keyboard, touchpad  to be distributed evenly, this helps reduce your discomfort. Under the same body, upper body a bit hotter but the heat evenly. The hottest point located on the slot area to the right heat.

During use, especially in the evening, Dell Adamo does not cause me a bit of discomfort about the noise of it. Virtually you hardly hear the sound of the fan inside the machine unless the ear close to the area near the heat vent.

Conclusion

Adamo is indeed a very impressive laptop model that Dell has contributed to consumers. Excellent design, luxurious and sturdy pole configuration is also consistent with a SSD Dell Adamo enough to compete with the Macbook Air on almost every respect. The biggest drawback I noted was on the Dell Adamo used to test the touchpad is too bad. As I said, if the touchpad is not the fault due to their popularity is considered provisional Adamo Dell does not have any significant weaknesses.

Pros:

•       Slim design, beautiful, stunning, classy.
•       Strong unibody .
•       Using high-speed SSDs.
•       The screen beauty, color, good viewing angles

Defects:

•      Driver of the touchpad or the touchpad itself problematic.
