As a product line?
I think that there is a page on engadget.com about how Dell intends to make the Adamo brand a full progduct line, in the same vein as their Inspiron or Studio ranges. Can anyone confirm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.151.218 (talk) 13:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Adamo in Latin
Adamo in Latin means "I fall in love with". To fall in love with is "adamatus". Unlike in English (which uses paraphrasic construction to indicate most information about a verb), with Latin, the verb's person, number, tense, mood, and voice are all indicated by the ending.

Latin dictionaries do not list verbs by their infinitive like English dictionaries. They list their verbs by the principle parts. So if you were to look up Adamo in an unabridged dictionary, you would see an entry like this :

Adamo, Adamare, Adamavi, Adamatus

In order the principle parts are the present 1st person singular, the infinitive, the perfect 1st person singular and the supine. It's easy to assume that adamo means "To fall in love with" because that's how a verb would be interpreted from an English dictionary (and because a lot of Latin dictionaries condense the principle parts so you only see the first) however this is not correct.

"although this is up for interpretation at 0.65 inches thick"
The source for this is a journalists article. This is thinner than the MacBook Airs thickest point, and that should be the deciding factor, thickest point. If any other interpretation is taken then any notebook trying to get the thinnest record would have to beat Air in every place on its odd shape. I suggest removing "although this is up for interpretation at 0.65 inches thick", and naming adamo as the thinnest notebook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Talitintti (talk • contribs) 23:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added a note about the controversy as it has been reported in reliable sources. twilsonb (talk) 02:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Why repeat corporate release and give current design thickness in inch and new design in mm?
I do not know wikipedia's policy on this but could you (1.) be consistent (2.) favor metric system for future sake?! 67.86.58.205 (talk) 05:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)WikiCi

Muwhaha get used to inches, its an American product. 72.220.125.86 (talk) 02:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I'd say SI (mm) first and inches second. But if it's a big fight and the figures are being quoted by Dell, go inches first and the millimeter conversion in parentheses. Just as long they're both there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.1.31 (talk) 15:25, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I think Adamo might have been absorbed into Dell's XPS laptop line (7/18/2011)
Recently (18 July 2011 @ 8:55am EDT) searched Dell's U.S. website for Adamo. Couldn't find it. Checked their XPS laptop section. What appears to be Adamo is there but I didn't see the Adamo name.
