More details today on the Dell Adamo XPS. Nothing official of course, but leaks happen and we’re finally getting to see exactly what’s hiding under that very flashy exterior.
So here’s what we know. The XPS will be running either a 1.4 or 1.9GHz dual core Intel CPU, integrated X4500MHD graphics, and 4GB of DDR3. You’ll be able to choose from either a 128 or 180GB SSD, and the screen only comes in a 13.4 inch size. There is some bad news (which might be why Dell is holding back currently), the machine apparently comes back with a Windows 7 Experience test rating of 3.3, which is not a good thing.
Additionally, that fancy flip screen thing won’t work if the batteries are dead. Not a huge issue, since I’m not sure why you’d need to open your notebook if it’s got no power, but still a little odd.

I’ve been hearing from a few different people that all of their rigs are scoring rather low on the scale as well.
I wonder if they are shooting really high for the optimum specs. Is there anyway you could report some WET ratings for other machines to put this in perspective? Maybe with a range from netbooks to gaming rigs?
Not a bad idea. We’ll talk about including that information in our reviews.
I’ve never seen an uglier more useless laptop in my life. I don’t know why anyone would want this $2000.00 POS.
