Dell Adamo XPS specs leak out: ULV processors, integrated graphics
At this point we have no idea why Dell won’t just up and launch the Adamo XPS, but if they can’t get it sorted we’ll just piece it together ourselves — and today we’ve got two different sources providing specs for the super-thin laptop with the funktastic hinge. Inside that crazy 1.5-pound case lies some pretty standard internals: we’re hearing there’ll be 1.4 and 1.9GHz dual-core Intel ULV processors with integrated X4500MHD graphics and 4GB of DDR3 RAM, all under (well, behind) an LED-backlit 13.4-inch WXGA screen and either a 128 or 180GB SSD. That’s good for a reported score of just 3.3 on the Windows 7 experience test — pretty sad for a $2,000 machine. The two available batteries are said to be rated at either 20Wh for 2.5 hours of juice or 40Wh for four hours, and here’s the crazy thing — that touch sensitive case latch we’ve been hearing about? Yeah, it doesn’t work without power, so you can’t open the machine if your battery is dead. Nice. Now Dell, honestly, can we dispense with the run-around?

Dell Adamo XPS specs leak
More details today on the Dell Adamo XPS. Nothing official of course, but leaks happen and we’re finally getting to see exactly what’s hiding under that very flashy exterior.
So here’s what we know. The XPS will be running either a 1.4 or 1.9GHz dual core Intel CPU, integrated X4500MHD graphics, and 4GB of DDR3. You’ll be able to choose from either a 128 or 180GB SSD, and the screen only comes in a 13.4 inch size. There is some bad news (which might be why Dell is holding back currently), the machine apparently comes back with a Windows 7 Experience test rating of 3.3, which is not a good thing.
Additionally, that fancy flip screen thing won’t work if the batteries are dead. Not a huge issue, since I’m not sure why you’d need to open your notebook if it’s got no power, but still a little odd.

Dell’s Adamo ‘crazyhinge’ XPS demonstrated on video
So, Dell finally revealed just exactly what was going on with its ultrathin Adamo XPS — to an extent, anyway — but there’s always room for a little more detail, and that’s where the folks at Zive Computer come in. This lovingly filmed video of theirs shows off all the physical intricacies of the XPS, the hinge in action from multiple angles, and even a bit of pretend typing on that odd-looking keyboard. Sure, we’re still in the dark on plenty of specs, but we’ve already gathered enough on this thing to make it clear it’s unlike anything else on the market. Hit up the read link for the vid.

Dell’s rugged Latitude XT2 XFR tablet busts through the FCC
Like the Thing to the Adamo XPS‘ Mister Fantastic, Dell’s Latitude XT2 XFR tablet would rather impress someone by smashing things than sliding effortlessly into a bag (or envelop as it were), but we’re guessing there’s plenty of folks that are more than happy to have things that way. Somewhat curiously, however, Dell isn’t doing much talking about this one itself on this seemingly convenient day, but the FCC thankfully is, thanks to a roundabout filing from Novatel. That latter detail of course means that this one will have plenty of wireless options (including 3G), but it otherwise looks to basically be a beefed-up version of Dell’s existing Latitude XT2 — and, incidentally, Dell’s first rugged tablet.

Dell Adamo XPS opens up for Windows 7 festivities, but still not for sale
So much for Business Week’s “confirmed” October 22nd launch date from over the weekend, eh? We just spoke with Dell’s PR who told us that the company has yet to confirm a launch date for its slender Adamo XPS, and still won’t, except to say that it’s not reaching the unwashed masses at any point today. That doesn’t mean today was all bad for the vigilant in waiting, as we finally got our first public showing of the front of the laptop, proving once and for all that the most recent press photo isn’t crooked. So there you have it, a chiclet keyboard and touchpad that likes to curl up close with the screen — mystery’s over, folks, now we play the waiting game.
