Dell Adamo, meet your budget-friendly competition
At about half the cost of a Dell Adamo and with better components, Acer's Aspire 3935-6504 is the ultraslim, ultralight laptop you can maybe afford. However, in my estimation, it's about half as attractive as the Dell Adamo, or the MacBook Air for that matter. (I'm only comparing with the Adamo and Air because Acer has been playing up its appearance. In reality, it has more in common with a plain ol' MacBook or Dell's XPS M1330.)
Encased in a golden brown brushed-metal chassis, the 4.2-pound laptop features a 13.3-inch frameless, wide-screen LED-backlit display with a 1,366x768 resolution and an Acer FineTip full-size keyboard with large key caps and increased key gaps. The touch pad supports multitouch gestures, too. Unfortunately, it still looks like a $900 laptop.
