Dell announced today that its super-slim Adamo XPS is here and will provide users with “a unique experience.” Dell says that with just a swipe of a finger, the keyboard appears from under the display as the system opens. The feature set challenged engineers to build the latest technology into a compact space, including:

4GB* DDR3 800 memory;
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4Ghz) ultra-low voltage processor;
Thin 128GB SSD for faster, cooler, quieter and more durable storage than traditional hard drives;
A13.4-inch high-definition display.

“Our engineers and designers are breaking new ground and throwing away the old rules with the introduction of Adamo XPS,” said Alex Gruzen, senior vice president of Dell consumer products. “We think the Adamo XPS will inspire an emotional connection with anyone who sees it.”

Our very own Rob Enderle described this new Adamo notebook as the “hottest Windows 7 product” in the market. To get more specs on Dell’s Adamo XPS, check out our Adamo XPS review by Rob Enderle.

The Dell XPS 15 has been a staple of the "powerful, but sleek" laptop set for as long as it's been around. It's a fantastic balance of performance and portability, and it acts as a brilliant counterbalance to the MacBook Pro in the world of Windows.

But a newcomer has arrived to challenge the XPS 15's throne, especially in a year when its 2023 update was considerably meager.

Flash deal knocks $180 off this Dell laptop, but it’s selling fast

dell inspiron 15 3000 deal june 2022 7000 01

Consistently great for cheap laptop deals, Dell is going to delight some students and those on a budget with this deal on a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop. Usually priced at $480, it's enjoying a $180 price cut so it's down to a very attractive $300. If you want a laptop that's fine for typing up documents, checking email, and some web browsing, this is it. Here's what else you need to know about it before you make a purchase.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 15
Far from rivaling the best laptops, the Dell Inspiron 15 is still pretty good for the price. It has an 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. It's particularly reassuring to see so much storage here with no worries about running out of room any time soon. There's also its great-looking 15.6-inch full HD screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 2500 nits of brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate. The latter means that browsing and scrolling will be nice and silky smooth to look at. Anti-glare properties also help while there are narrow borders too for better looks.
