Stuff Website Reviews the Latitude XT2 and Adamo XPS



On the 5th March Stuff reviewed both of Dell's high Spec Laptops. The Adamo receiving the following write up...

"It seems a long time ago that Dell was known only for its highly customisable but terminally dull range of business laptops. In recent years it’s splashed out on Alienware, opened the ‘Design Studio’ and, more recently, crafted the rather beautiful premium ‘Adamo’ range.

While the original Adamo was an attack on Apple’s MacBook Air, the Adamo XPS is seemingly more interested in undermining the laws of physics. It's miraculous that Dell has crammed so much technology – or, indeed, any technology – into the Adamo's 9.99mm thin case. "

Outlining the pro's and con's

" Pros A beautiful thing. Quick boot time. Unbelievably bright screen. Powerful enough for HD media. Superb keyboard

Cons Weedy battery life. Lacks connectivity options. A tad extravagant for most"



The Latitude XT2 also received a similar review...

"The XT2 is beautifully light, just over 25mm thick and comes clad in a tasteful brushed finish. It is, not to put too fine a point on it, gorgeous, and not entirely unlike its high-class sister, the Adamo..... Even without that, though, if this was a straight notebook the design alone would put it high on our list of favourites. With the added slate mode and one of the best multitouch screens around it's almost irresistible"

With its pro's and con's alike to the Adamo's

"Pros Responsive screen. Gorgeous design. Ultralight

Cons Poor battery time. Few Windows 7 multitouch apps. Expensive"
