 Side-by-side; the Air is on the left, the Adamo on the right . Click to enlarge.We've been hearing that the Dell Adamo is supposed to out-thin the Apple Macbook Air. Well, now that we have the Adamo in our Labs, we can tell you this: Depending on where you apply the ruler, the Adamo is thinner. The Adamo measures 0.65 inches all around, whereas the Air has a tapering design that goes from 0.76 inches in the back to 0.16-inches in the front bezel. Judging by our comparison photos (thanks, Zach Honig!), though, I think the Air should get the bragging rights. Take a look at a couple more pics, after the jump.
Backs against each other; the Air on the left, the Adamo, right.
Stacked up; Air's on top (you needed me to tell you that?).

And the Adamo only appears to be thicker than the air 'cause the air tapers in. otherwise, I'd bet the center of the device is nearly (if not) the same thickness). So, would a better measurement not be from the thickest part, not from the edges (etc.)? "technically"

The Adamo development was given a "Free Hand" in Dell (very unusual and deliberate) and I would like to see more of these products from Dell. The argument of which is thinner seems to be a moot point to me. The real value is in their usability, longivity, performance, and battery life, in addition to pure beauty....which both have.

At the end of the day, the Dell Adamo is thinner. In fact, at the thickest point, Adamo is thinner than any other laptop.

The air is sitting on top of the Dell, and is obviously thinner and smaller. Come on, are you people blind?

Of course the MacBook Air is thinner. But leave it to Dell fanboys to find
a definition for thin that proves it not.
Who are you going to believe: me or your own eyes. :-)
