There's already some controversy over what actually is the world's thinnest notebook, but it looks as though Dell is preparing to put any doubts to rest with an upcoming Adamo system that measures just 9.99mm thick.

Details are scarce (and we mean very scarce) but a teaser page at adamobydell.com shows what could be a silver Biro or an ultra-thin notebook. We reckon it's the latter.

Readers who've been keeping track of ultra-thin notebooks will be aware that Apple got us underway with the January '08 arrival of the MacBook Air - a system that measures 19.4mm at its thickest point. Going one better, Dell introduced its 16.5mm-thick Adamo notebook in March '09.

The new Adamo looks set to eclipse anything before it by measuring under 10mm thick, but whether or not the 9.99mm measurement is at its thickest point remains to be seen. There's no mention of specification, availability or pricing yet, but we wonder how badly Dell will have had to compromise performance in order to achieve such slim dimensions?

Wow, thats impressive.

But I wounder if it will have a removeable battery?

Sony managed it on the excellent P series, which was 19.8mm thick.

imho, 0.4 of a millimeter is worth the cost for a removeable battery.
i just want the specs! I doubt the battery is removable tho. Its not like I can afford it anyways:embarrassed:
Ok thin is better than fat, just as heavy is worse than light… but really I would be too scared to sneeze on a laptop less than 1cm thick incase I broke it….
USB ports are going to be interesting on this thing.

Looking forward to seeing what the specs and details are though.
hmm…

I'd be more interested to know how the 9mm thing effects the quality of the display after it has been bent a 1000 times i.e. after a year…or would it give you dead pixels after a week? with blurry colours :drool:
