Two words - deep pockets

It is surprising how much Dell are charging for their new notebooks given that its so much higher than the equivalent HP, Acer etc.

I wonder if they're trying to pitch into Sony/Apple territory?

Isn't the Dell Adamo supposed to be directly targeting the Apple Macbook Air?

On Topic: The new XPS notebooks look nice, but for that price, I would seriously expect something special.
