      The most amazing aspect of this machine is the price.

      "The thinnest laptop in the world"
      Yawn. If it fits into my briefcase, it is thin enough.
      Look at me! Look at me! I've got the thinnest laptop!
      I'm not posing on the train. I'm working.

      Dell should focus on what it used to do best: value for money.
      Now it seems to have given up the fight and instead shifted to selling "luxury brand" stuff with a high profit margin. It's not long from that strategy until chapter 11. You can't be profitable with high profit items if they don't sell.
      Stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap.

      Makes no sense at all. MSI makes something light and thin, 13.4" LCD with no optical drive for 1/3rd the price. Ben had it listed not too long ago, its the x320. Even the MACs are priced better than this. It just makes no sense at all.

      #3, I agree. Even me can make something light and thin in the toilet in the morning. But mine does not come with LCD thingy and it's a bit stinky.

      who are these people that cant carry around a few pounds. I could carry around my desktop if you strapped it to my back in a e system. what is it 40 pounds for a desktop. most Americans are carrying that much extra weight in fat alone. might be good for your health to carry extra weight. most kids in grade school carry 25 pounds in books home each day and they are ten years old at 75 pounds. well it was in my day I don't even think they bother to teach them anymore.

      For a whopping 1% off, you have to enter a 14 character coupon code? Better save your breath. Easily overrun by the state tax.
      So each costs about 5 netbooks, which are even lighter and thinner than this!
      Yeah, I like the name. Let my Adamo sits on my abdomen.
