You'd end up with something pretty close to the new Dell Vostro V13. We just got a quick look at the machine, and while some of the cheaper materials Dell is using here certainly came through, the total package is still quite impressive -- and the price unimpeachable."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//dht/auto/1260442431.usr20447.png" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The Dell Adamo must be one of Dell's "halo" products, because with the release of Vostro V13, I think you would be hard pressed to pay the premium that the Adamo commands.&nbsp; Sure, the Vostro V13 is not quite as powerful, but it has plenty of juice for your everyday tasks.&nbsp; Thin is definitely in, and almost every manufacturer now has a laptop that will fit in a manila envelope.&nbsp; What is most remarkable is the base price for the V13, which sits it right in the high end netbook territory.&nbsp; With reasonably powered laptops with this kind of design this cheap, are the netbook's days numbered?</p>

You've got to hand it to Dell, they're really amping up their industrial design lately - this is a very slick-looking notebook...and it's aimed at business people?? Kind of crazy. :D
