Computing giants such as Dell and HP are on an expansion mode with their product lineups. "Adamo" has been quite a buzzword in the gadget circles, which started off with rumors of it being Dell's competition to the Apple Macbook Air. Naturally, it is expected to have the one USP the Macbook Air holds: it's slim notebook form-factor. The advantage Adamo gives is that it happens to be PC, coming with a proper PC operating system installed.

The rumor materialized with a NY Times BITS blog post which showed an extract from UptownLife.net which read:

Rumor has it that Dell is coming out with a computer called Adamo that will rival the MacBook Air. At press time, the company was keeping the product tightly under wraps, but PC users rejoice - word on the street is that something cool is coming your way

The extract was later removed from the blog post. As it stands, the statement adds ground to Adamo nearing reality. Meanwhile, Dell looks to be trying hard to keep things under the wraps. Although Adamo has a microsite of its own, it can be seen as a mere "coming soon" hype-building measure for now. Something concrete on this can be expected from Dell at the upcoming CES event.
