SHOWCASE: Ultra cool and super-thin notebooks seem to be the rave among the media in Malaysia and Indonesia over the past week as both Dell and Taiwan-based component/consumer electronics manufacturer MSI launch their versions of slim notebooks to the media. Dell introduced the Adamo notebook of course, while MSI launched their X-Slim notebook.

You can check out our review of the Dell Adamo here (and our last post on the Adamo here) and a preview of the MSI X-Slim X340 notebook here including specifications. The other MSI X-Slim notebooks being launched (for Malaysia at least) also include the X320, X400 and X600.

The HWM Malaysia and HWM Indonesia teams were able to send us photos of the two separate event launches in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta respectively. Check it out:

Dell has claimed that the Adamo is the world's thinnest laptop at 0.65 inches thick at its thickest point.

SHOWCASE: Style-minded people take note. Dell unveiled the world’s thinnest laptop as part of its new Adamo line today. According to Dell, even at its thickest point, the notebook is thinner than any other laptop. Adamo, which means “to fall in love” in Latin, will serve as a flagship line of products that combines new design aesthetics, personalization choices and must-have tech.

The marketing campaign for Dell's Adamo includes imagery shot by acclaimed British-based photographer Nadav Kander, which features high-fashion models that reinforces the “fall in love” positioning.

What makes the Adamo impressive is the craftsmanship and feature sets, including a chassis milled from a single piece of aluminum (with scalloped backlit keyboard), a prominent high definition edge-to-edge display, full connectivity for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional integrated mobile broadband, solid state drives and a color choice of either Onyx or Pearl.

With pre-orders now available online, the Adamo notebook will ship from 24 countries from 26 March 2009 onwards, including Singapore (starting from S$3,249/US$2126), Malaysia (RM7399/US$2009) and Indonesia (price to be confirmed) for South-east Asia.
