Dell is declaring war in the super-skinny laptop stakes with the Adamo XPS – its own take on the world's slimmest laptop.
It measures just 9.9mm thick – the MacBook Air, by comparison, goes from 4mm at its thinnest point all the way up to 19.4mm. The Dell's other vital stats are 340 x 273.9mm and it weighs in at 1.44Kg.
It may be small, but it's still pretty powerful. Under the hood you'll find a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo chip, 4GB of memory, a 128GB solid state hard drive and a 13.4in HD 720p display.
The Adamo XPS will be available soon, see Dell for more information.
The Vaio X Series is the world's lightest laptop, according to Sony, weighing in at just 655g.

It's powered by an Intel Atom processor and 2GB of memory. There's still space for two USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet and VGA out and it comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 Professional.
The X Series will be available soon, see Sony for further details.
