What is it:
High-end, ultrathin laptop
Typical price:
£1,750
We like:
Superslim chassis, inventive design
We don't like:
Weak battery life, large footprint, no SD card slot
The judgement:
Dell's high-concept Adamo XPS deserves credit for taking some serious design risks. It's a cool conversation piece but poor battery life lets it down
