However, you will have to spend some real dough if you want to get one of these beauties. With prices starting at $1999 and going up from there, Dell Adamo is anything but cheap.
We know that beautiful design for latest laptop and desktop PC’s is rapidly becoming a must have feature. And Dell is thinking about it seriously, even in their cheaper home PCs.
Case in point – Dell Studio One 19 – their all-in-one home PC system announced today. Which is simply beautiful:
Dell Studio One 19 is more about the looks, convenience and ease of use, then about the horsepower.
It’s is optimized for multi-touch operation with pre-loaded with multi-touch photo editing, slideshow creation, playlist compilation software and Web Browser, You Paint finger-paint app, multi-touch percussion center for music editing.
10.1” inch Acer Aspire One AOD150 has been one successful netbook since it’s introduction about a month ago.
About the only thing missing in in Aspire One AOD 150, was the lack of 3G connectivity. Let’s face it, connecting to the net via Wi-fi is all good and well, but groping for the 3G USB dongle every time there’s no hot-spot around, can be rather frustrating.
Well, I have some good news for you. Acer Aspire One AOD150 model with built-in U.S 3G band modem has just passed through FCC.
You can expect seeing 3G HSDPA enabled Acer Aspire One AOD150’s netbooks in some shops soon.
And there’s more. Aspire One AOD150 3G the module supports AT&T 3G bands, and AT&T is very keen to start it’s own netbook push this year. So I wouldn’t rule out some sweet bundled deals coming for Acer Aspire One AOD150 from there soon.
Full specs of Acer Aspire AOD150 include:
Intel Atom N270 1.60 GHz CPU
Intel 945GSE chipset
Windows XP Home OS
10.1” WSVGA 1024×600 display
Intel GMA950 graphics accelerator
1GB of RAM
160 GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD
100/1000 Mbps LAN, Wi-Fi b/g
6 cell Li-Ion batter for up to 6.5 hrs operation
By now, everybody who cares, knows, that Asus is working on, or at least experimenting with, Android OS on it’s Eee PC netbook line.
People have been expecting Android based Asus Eee PC to be announced by th end of this year.
But French tech site Mobinaute reports, that the new Android Eee OC may be announced much sooner.
During Cebit show in Germany last week, Eric Chen, head of Asus European branch mentioned that Asus engineers have been experimenting how to adapt a small screen optimized Android UI to a bigger netbook display. And Asus will formally present the results of their experiments within next two months.
Sounds really interesting. Asus launched a new commercial netbook market last year with their original Eee PC. Can’t wait to see what the new Android based Eee PC will bring us.
Dell Adamo must be one of the most hotly awaited ultrapostable notebooks this year.
Except that Adamo should be a ultrathin luxury laptop focused on design, portability and competition with the likes of Macbook Air, notmuch is known about it.
But the sense of premium luxury build is now reinforced by Dell promo video showing the staged Dell Admo construction process, with futuristic robots, lasers and gravity defying assembly process:
There are also some rumors floating that Aspire On ZG8 will also have a multi-touch touchpad. But the users manual available through FCC filings shows no such thing, so I am not really sure about that.
The basic idea is the same - a full touch surface peripheral, that can be programmed to perform various input tasks. About the only (maybe) new thing that Tactus adds to Apple’s idea is the possibility to display grainy images.
And today another Apple patent application, called “Dynamically controlled keyboard“, became public. It describes practically the same device as already in production Art Lebedev’s “Optimus Maximus” keyboard:
