US based world's computer major Dell has officially launched a high-end laptop computer. According to the company the new laptop computer is the thinnest in the world. The laptop is the first product under Dell's "Adamo" brand. The name "Adamo" has been derived from the Latin word meaning "to fall in love". Dell's "Adamo" laptop has a thickness of 0.65 inches (1.65 cm). The laptop computer is available in two colours - onyx and pearl.

 

The new Adamo laptop is even thinner than Apple's MacBook Air. It has a price tag starting from $1,999. Dell said in a statement that, Adamo would serve as a flagship in a line of products created to disrupt the personal computing space with the combination of new design aesthetics, personalization choices and sought-after technologies.

 

However, some analysts raised apprehension about its price tag According to them such a high price might not find many customers because of the ongoing global economic crisis. Earlier this month, market research company Gartner predicted that global personal computer shipments will drop 11.9 per cent from last year in 2009 as a result of economic slowdown.
