Adamo (Italian for "To fall in love with"[4][5]) was a Dell slim luxury ultraportable subnotebook focused on design and mobility, intended to compete with Apple's MacBook Air laptop.

Both were initially equipped with a 128 GB solid-state drive, and a 13.4-inch widescreen with a 1366x768 resolution (16:9 ratio) with a built-in 1.3 MP webcam and microphone.

It weighs 4 pounds, originally shipped with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium, with an optional external DVD-RW drive.

On September 9, 2009, Dell previewed a thinner Adamo XPS laptop design, which was 9.99 mm (0.39 inches) thick.

It is designed, that when open, the bottom of the screen half and the edge of the keyboard, make contact with the surface on which it is resting.
