Dell : has recently launched Dell’s premium high-end ultraportable Dell Adamo XPS Laptop that is one of the thinnest laptop in the world which is slim, thin, lightweight, and sports a 13-inch form factor with excellent build quality.

The Dell Adamo XPS ultra-thin laptop is a stunning laptop whose design provides a unique experience. With the swipe of a finger, the keyboard appears from under the display as the system is open.

The feature set challenged engineers to build the latest technology into a compact space, including:

4GB DDR3 800 memory
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.4Ghz) ultra-low voltage processor
Thin 128GB SSD for faster, cooler, quieter and more durable storage than traditional hard drives
