Sure, it was only about four months ago that Dell released its XPS 14, but unfortunately, those looking to snatch up the Core i5, NVIDIA GeForce 400M-powered laptop today will have a mighty hard time. Some keen-eyed tipsters noticed that Dell's 14-inch mainstream system was out of stock, and a quick call to one of our friends at Dell confirmed that the smallest version of the series won't actually be making a comeback. However, that's not because the system didn't sell well -- Dell maintains that it actually exceeded sales expectations. Considering it was a very aggressively priced rig that doesn't really surprise us, but why not bring it back? That's where things get interesting, and we'll give you Dell's exact quote on this one...
Yep, it seems like Dell is gearing up to bring some Adamo qualities back in to the XPS brand, which is actually what were told last year when the company killed off the Adamo brand altogether. We're staying tuned alright!"With the transition to Sandy Bridge technology, we chose to re-focus our efforts on incorporating this feedback into future thin and light products launching later this year. Stay tuned!"
another macbook air killer project down the drain.
ReplyDeletedont be foolish by the dell words , its all about marketing.
"oh yeah sales are highter than we expect , but its gone now" yeah right.....
Better yet, bring back the Adamo with Sandy Bridge! I'm still using my lovely Core 2 Duo Adamo. :D
ReplyDeleteHow come dell and everybody else is going for the light and thin? What about heat? No body notice that?
ReplyDeleteI hope it comes out soon, I'd rather have a all in one comp, than a iFad. :D

Was a very cheap laptop with some of the xtra ordinary specs but too fat and heavy !!!
ReplyDeletemay be dell launches some thing with better or least the same specs laptop with more cool look and most importantly the one who does not break the bank!!!
"thin" and "light" is the least i care about in a 15 incher laptop. They need raw power, and a good ventilation for me. Sometimes the problem that cpmes with a powerful graphics card - heat. Im in a tropical country, so laptops even heat up faster while high graphics gaming.
ReplyDelete"thin and light" should apply for "Notbooks" (those 11-incher ultra-portable laptops)
They need to stop putting optical drives in these 14" and smaller laptops, its just a waste of space. On the very rare moment you need to use optical media, just rip the damn thing as an ISO elsewhere in 5-10 minutes and stick it on a thumb drive.
ReplyDeleteThey also need to hurry up with dual core SNB laptops already.
"thin" and "light", two words that aren't usually associated with pc laptops.
ReplyDeleteTypo near the end "were told" writer fail!
