Dell Adamo XPS gets price, release date

We have been reporting recently on the new ultraportable Dell Adamo XPS, which promises to be almost half the size of its main competitor, the Macbook Air.
Besides its 0.39-inch thinness, there has been little other details on the device, however.

This weekend, Bloomberg Business Week added a bit of info on the ultraportable, giving consumers a price and release date at least.

The Adamo XPS will cost $2000 USD and will launch on the same day as Windows 7, October 22nd.

Besides that, the article also says the ultraportable will have a “heat-sensing strip on the lip that, when swiped with a finger, glows white and automatically opens the aluminum lid.”

Sounds good, now let's hear what's inside the case as well.

Can't wait for complaints when people misplace the damn thing and ends up finding them broken due to size and visibility. Someone is bound to step on that thing by accident or sit on it.

That release date is a lot sooner than anyone was expecting I bet. I think I'll hold off on my laptop until I hear the specs of this one.
