Dell Adamo Notebook to be even thinner than Apple’s MacBook Air

The tease of Dell’s latest iteration of its Adamo laptop — which purports to be even thinner than Apple’s MacBook Air — is another pistol shot in an increasingly competitive race to build the sexiest, thinnest, heroin chic laptop out there. But the race feels hollow and nearly pointless.
