Ricardo Gil Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Volume isn't what Apple advertises, so who cares? Your point? The MBA is thinner on average, which is what counts. You could say the thickest part of the MBA is thicker than the Adamo. But I could just as easily say that the MBA's thinnest part is thinner than the Adamo. No one wins.

PyX Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Take the average thickness of the Adamo and the average thickness of the Air and I'm pretty sure the Air wins. I'll have to do it once I'm done with school :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What counts is, it looks thinner, it feels thinner, and lighter, it looks sexier, and that's all it matters. Screw numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Knight Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Why not have a screen shot with them sitting side by side? It'd be far easier to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Neither notebook is really worth the money. They're both form over function, especially the air. The Lenovo ThinkPad X303 is a good example of a functional ultra-portable, as it features several USB ports and an optical drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewishornet Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Air is thinner, faster, better construction, sexier, can run OS X and Windows natively etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both "better construction" and "sexier" are a matter of opinion. And the Adamo can "natively" run OS X and Windows, too. Maybe not legally, but natively, yes. But I still stand by my opinion that neither are worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonite Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Apple could make the MacBook Air truly thinner by taking off the screen, then calling it the MacBook Air Shuffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt8480 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Air came out 1-2 years before the Adamo, it was thinner back then. I don't think you're gonna start comparing with older laptops that once made that same claim. Anyway, the Air is still cheaper, lighter and more equipped than the Adamo. "once" they didn't "once" make the claim - they still do. And I think it's a completely false claim. They don't claim its the worlds thinnest notebook on average, they claim it is the thinnest - which it is not technically. The shape and colour of the Mac certainly make it look much smaller but theres's nothing in it in reality. Can someone do a displacement test in water to get true volume :p and a density comparison. The Adamo should be more dense in theory - where all the extra weight comes from I have no idea. Maybe the two extra usb ports, thats why Apple left them all out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Both are drastically overpriced and more or less useless. Both are a waste of money and loose to regular laptops and not giving up so mush weight and space to be valuable. The aluminum Macbook may be half a CM higher and 1.5 pound louder, but it's quite a better product. As for the Adamo, it's just little bit thinner and little bit lighter, but how mush less powerful with the ULV C2D and GMA4500. Now if Dell would release a normal notebook designed on the same lines of the Adamo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellScream63 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Why not take the average? 0.4+1.94/2 = 1.17 1.17<1.64 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookus Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Apple could make the MacBook Air truly thinner by taking off the screen, then calling it the MacBook Air Shuffle hahahahaha I think this is my first or second post in years here, but that's just too funny! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalx Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 personally i dislike the seashell design and curved feel on laptops so i'd go with adamo any day over macbook air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macalicious Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 IMO, the Adamo is overpriced for what you get. The Air is a fairly good deal. I just want a removable battery. *shrugs* it depends on what you're buying it for; are you buying for size, battery life and portability? if so you're probably be better off getting something like a 10inch Netbook like the Eee PC 1000HA.
