Default Dell Lets Engadget Peek at the Adamo XPS

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/...-updated-adamo/

That right there is the Dell Adamo XPS. And, according to Engadget, Dell waved it around for a minute, didn't say much about it, then went back to talking about their new designs based on OPI nail polish. Huh? Yeah, exactly. I'm all for customization, but I think it's pretty cheesy that it says the name of the design and "OPI" on the lid. I mean, come on, this isn't some ad-supported free product, it's a laptop someone is buying. Who wants to advertise for OPI? Anyway, I believe this is the first time that Dell has brought to the table a customized design that isn't a sticker - HP has been the company that has offered slick designs baked into the shell, but Dell has been stuck offering stickers. Times are a chagin'!

If you're a baseball fan, you'll appreciate the Major League Baseball designs - there are some pretty cool, aggressive designs in that gallery.

Now let me get this straight. I'm going to pay MORE for a product and the privilege of ADVERTISING for someone or something!!??!! Isn't this bass-ackward? Shouldn't they be paying me for being willing to show off their logo or industry everywhere I go. Come on, people. You're letting the inmates run the assylum.

You mean the Dell XPS? We know nothing about the specs - how can you determine that it's underpowered? Because it's thin?
