Dell Adamo Laptop Pros :
Portability - For on-the-go users this is an away from the office solution that offers pretty much everything you need - robustness, practical size and weight, lengthy battery uptime, connectivity, speed and reliability, it fits the bill 100%. It has the hardware to handle higher demanding tasks with ease. 9/10
Engineering - Looks awesome, feels solid and is easy to gain access to the innards of this machine. From a technician’s point of view, screwless entry to the entire underside of the chassis is a credit to the designers at Dell. The tidy layout also means it’s a breeze to install mini PCI add-on’s or, possibly when technology and price permits, a larger hard drive. 10/10
Robustness - The build feels so solid that you could feel as comfortable using this on a dusty red mine site as you would reclining on an automated massage chair in your business lounge or simply on your desk. 8/10
Ease of Use - The layout of the external ports is very well placed to ensure minimal interference during practical use. eSATA and USB ports aplenty should satisfy most users. The 13.4″ 16:9 HD edge to edge glass screen is delightful to look at from every angle. The brushed aluminum backing looks nice and gives the screen a robust feeling. 8/10
Value For Money - The backlit keyboard is something that these days should be a standard on all laptops and the key touch feels robust and like that of the dials and buttons inside a luxury car - refined and high quality. In fact we’d say that the screen is delightful to look at (not a superlative that we’d normally use lightly!) and again it looks and feels robust yet delicate like the whole machine. Definitely worth every cent – 9/10
Practicality - The most common real world uses of the Adamo are for browsing, email and standard applications – these were without disappointment and speed was no issue. 8/10
