I am no apple fan, but I admit that the svelte form factor of the MacBook Air was very cool. The machine had many tradeoffs for that thin profile though and I wished a Windows PC would hit market with less of the tradeoffs with the same thin form factor.

Rumor has it that Dell has just such a rig in mind and is teasing the machine for a launch at CES 2009. The name is the only really known and verified fact surround Adamo. It was believed to have been confirmed that Adamo would be a MacBook Air competitor. The New York Times' Bits Blog reported that it was confirmed that the Adamo would in fact be an Air competitor.

Now we hear that what was said to have been confirmed by Dell wasn't what we thought. The confirmation was for an image that ran along with the story, mistakenly applied to the rumor that the Adamo was an Air competitor. Dell is likely just playing coy at the moment; I still think Adamo is an Air competitor. Rumors point to an Adamo 13, which would mean 13-inch screen size and sounds very Air-ish.
