John Lewis gets Xmas exclusive on Dell's sexy Adamo laptop

Dell's strikingly slender Adamo XPS laptop is going exclusively to John Lewis this Christmas. Though it might be better known for homeware and hampers, John Lewis has a strong line in consumer electronics and snagging the sexy Adamo is a coup for the department store.

Adamo has always been Dell's haute design offering and the latest version of it, the XPS has a beautiful split back which hinges out into an elegant balancing position, lifting the whole computer off the desk and into a tilted open position.

It's also the thinnest laptop on the market - at 9.9mm thick, the whole computer is the size of a magazine and actually slenderer than some phones. I had a play around with an XPS last month and was pretty wowed by the looks, feel and the innovative hinge.

John Lewis are also stocking other key Dell products - the Studio 15, the Inspiron 14z and 15 laptops and the candy-coloured Inspiron Mini 10 netbooks.

The Adamo XPS will be selling for £1,750, it's already available in select John Lewis stores and will be available on www.johnlewis.com as of tomorrow.
