It’s been awhile since we’ve heard any news from the Adamo  camp, but for those looking to blow a bit of that Santa cash on something thin and light, the timing here couldn’t possibly be better.

Nearly 1.5 years after the 13-inch ultraportable was let loose — for $1,999 and up, no less — a new low-cost configuration has emerged at Dell’s website. These days, $899 gets you a 0.65-inch thick machine, complete with a 13.4-inch WLED display (1366 x 768 resolution), 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo SL9600 processor, a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and 4GB of DDR3-800 memory. You’ll also get a 128GB SSD, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a 40 WHr Lithium Polymer battery, and if you’re down for spending a bit more, you can grab an internal mobile broadband module as well. Or, you know, you could wait and see what kind of treasures CES brings. Your call.

Unfortunately for some Alienware M17x owners problems still exist within their systems, reported problems suggest a power-related graphics problems, even after Alienware has now finally stated they have fixed the apparent DPC latency issues with the laptop.

Apparently the symptoms are similar to that of the DPC latency issue, which is causing a few problems with diagnosis. However the new problem seems to be effecting the highest specification systems with the GPU taking more power than is available.

Dell has now apparently fixed the issue on its most recent Alienware M17x laptops but is still unwilling it seems, to provide replacement systems to the early adopters experiencing the problems, according to the Notebook Review forums. It also currently looks like a swap-out to replace the laptop is currently the only surefire way to correct the issue.

Dell Latitude E6400 XFR is getting considered as one of the most effective business notebook available in the market.

It is a durable product which is a complete waterproof element. That is why some people have given it a name of rugged notebook as well. The 14.1 inches product has several other beneficial features like a functional display which could be easily viewed in sunlight, the weatherproof and dust proof structure, the spacious 4GB RAM and so on. Presence of Windows Vista is yet effective element of the product which is the reason for the high popularity of this exclusive element.

Dell prepares the launch of the Latitude E6520 and Latitude 6420 business laptops, according to a blog post by Eric G. software engeneer.

The Dell Latitude E6520 15.6-incher replaces and E6510 and features 2n Generation Intel Core processors codenamed “Sandy Bridge”, including dual and quad core chips, optional touchscreen, LED display backlight, and a 3.2MP web camera.

There’s no info on CPUs in the 14-inch Latitude E6420 replacing the E6410, but from the past we’ve learned that it should use the same CPU family as its larger sibling. Eric G. says the E6420 will include a new 9-cell battery with a capacity of 97Whr. For comparison, the 9-cell battery for the current E6410 is rated at 90Whr. Other features include a built-in Ericsson F5521gw (Dell DW5550) mobile broadband module with 21Mbps download and 5.7Mbps upload speed, USB 3.0, Intel ATT 3.0 anti-theft technology, and also a 3.2MP webcam.

Dell is working on the next-gen Alienware M17x 17.3-inch gaming laptop which is based on 2nd Generation Intel Core “Sandy Bridge” processors, according to leaked info on NotebookReview forums.

The three spotted M17x configurations feature the Intel Core i7-2630QM and “Intel HD Graphics Family” GPU, the i7-2720QM paired with AMD Radeon HD 6900M, and the i7-2820QM with Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M graphics.

According to published Futuremark 3DMark06 benchmark results, the laptops score 15,940, 20,155 and 16,957 3DMark points, respectively.

Besides the new processors and video cards, the Alienware M17x has a refined case design.

There’s no info on availability date and pricing. The “Sandy Bridge” chips will be officially released on January 5th, 2011.

Update: Software engineer Eric G. has posted more details of the new M17x. The new version called M17x R3 will come with optional 3D display, AMD’s upcoming Radeon 6870M and 6970M mobile video cards, Nvidia GeForce 460M GTX option, a SiBeam Wireless HD card that offers “lossless FullHD 1080p video transfer to your LCD TV”, a 3.2MP web camera, and a new a 9-Cell 93Whr battery.

Inspired by Dell’s Inspiron Duo with that unique hinge is this unnamed 9-inch netvertible straight out of Shenzhen in China. Your first impression probably wasn’t the screen hinge though, and probably the keyboard design, which looks a lot like the Sony Vaio P.

I guess you could say this is sort of like a Sony Vaio P with a touchscreen, except not getting anywhere close in regards to thinness and weight. When rolled over into tablet mode, there are a series of buttons accessible on the bezel.

Nice design overall but the specs don’t match Dell’s offering. Here, we’ve got an Intel Atom N450 processor, integrated graphics, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB HDD, 8.9″ 1024 x 600 display with capacitive touch, webcam, Windows 7 and a 7.4V, 3000 mAh battery and ports – 2 x USB 2.0, audio jacks, VGA, RJ45 and SD card reader. It’ll be available in four colors.

No word on how much this costs or when it’s coming out over there in China.

The Dell Latitude E5500 is the new revolution by Dell technologies.

This laptop is used for business purpose, and its size is 15.4 inch. The system is buit with Intel Centrino mobile platform and the processor used here is the Core 2 Do processor. The main advantage of   Dell Latitude E5500 is that the screen can be configured from 1280x 800 to 1440×900. This laptop has a DVD drive and a burner and has 250 GB hard drive. The other options available in this system are Wifi, Bluetooth and buit in modem. It has a touch pad key board for easy typing. The laptop has card readers with SD card and multimedia cards. It has six lithium batteries.

Back when we reviewed the Dell Vostro V13  we had a few complaints, including the fact that it lasted less than three hours on a charge and lacked an HDMI port.

Well, Dell’s gone and taken care of at least one of those issues with its new Vostro V130. The original thin and light chassis has been kept in tact, which means there’s still the same old battery issues, but Dell’s freshened up the 13.3-inch magnesium alloy laptop with an HDMI port, extra USB socket, a SIM card slot, new Core i3 / i5 ULV processor options, and some new Intel “Hyperbaric Cooling” technology. We don’t know much about that new cooling stuff, but apparently it will help the .65-inch thick system stay cool and quiet. Oh, and did we mention it now comes in that bright red hue?! The small business machine still starts an impressive $429 and is available today.

The Dell Inspiron Duo 10.1-inch convertible touchscreen netbook with a flip-hinged design is now available for pre-order in the US.

Microsoft Store offers the Inspiron Duo tablet / netbook hybirid for $549.00, while its audio docking station has a $49.00 price tag.

According to the product page, the Duo includes the Intel Atom N550 dual core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 320GB 7,200rpm hard drive, 4-cell battery for “up to 4 hours” of run time, and Windows 7 Home Premium OS with Dell Duo Stage touch interface.

The 10.1″ 1366 x 768 display that swivels from within its frame uses capacitive touchscreen technology and LED backlight.

The 3.4 pound netbook has built-in stereo speakers, a 1.3MP web camera, chiclet-style keyboard, wireless N, Bluetooth, Ethernet LAN, two USB ports, an SD/SDHC/MMC memory card reader, and VGA output.

The separately sold Dell Inspiron Duo Audio Station is designed to transform the convertible into a clock, music player, portable video player, or picture frame, and includes JBL-branded 2 x 3W speakers and a 7W subwoofer.

The docking station also charges the system.

This Laptop is a real beauty.
