The no-show of the Dell Adamo notebook suggests Dell is in serious trouble. How serious it is too early to tell but a lot of people are going to lose their jobs.

Dell demonstrated how troubled it is at the Consumer Electronics Show. There was to be a demonstration of the new laptop, the Adamo.

In fact, it was more of a strip-tease.

A model removed a thin, black laptop from a bag and posed for a scrum of photographers. She did not turn on the computer and Dell gave no details.

Nor would Alex Gruzen, a senior vice president in Dell’s consumer product group, say how much the new machine would cost.

The only detail which can be given is that Adamo means ‘to fall in love with’ in Latin and it will probably be released in the next six months for an unkown price. Now you know as much as anyone.
