Dell to introduce new ultrathin laptop in the next few weeks

According to some of Cnet’s sources who are supposedly close to Dell, the computer manufacturer will be releasing a sleek new laptop in the coming weeks. The laptop will be designed in the spirit of their discontinued Adamo brand – ultrathin, high performance laptops. The new laptop is rumored to pack a high-resolution 15.6″ screen, with the latest Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 and Core i7 processors, and will be crafted from special materials (it wasn’t mentioned what these materials were). The tablets are also said to cost under $1,000.

The laptop will also be the first of many – apparently Dell has a whole lineup planned, with future models arriving in different sizes. If rumors turn out to be true, it sure seems like Dell is committed to breaking into the MacBook Air-dominated ultrathin laptop market. Let’s hope they fare better with the new computers than they did with the cancelled Adamo brand.

Dell: Dell Inc. is one of largest technology corporations in the world. Michael Dell started the company in 1984, and it sold computers built from stock components. Previously named PCs Limited, the company created the "Turbo PC," the company's first computer. In 1988, the company changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation. Dell sells personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, and computer peripherals. Dell acquired computer hardware company Alienware in 2006, and Perot Systems, an information technology services provider, in 2009. Dell is also considered as the third largest PC vendors in the world, next to HP and Lenovo (as of 12/30/2013).
