Slimadatico – New Dell Laptop

“Dell introduces ultrathin Adamo notebook concept

As they say in the marketing biz, image is everything.

That’s why Dell Inc. unveiled a sneak-peek profile of its next stylish Adamo computer, the Adamo XPS, on Wednesday, 9/9/09.

The new Adamo is not yet a real product, but when that happens, it’s going to be very thin: 9.99 millimeters, which is a little less than four-tenths of an inch.

That would make it much thinner than the first Adamo introduced in March and thinner than the thinnest Apple MacBook.

The image Dell provided wasn’t a product launch. It was more of a peek at the design to come.

“At this point, it’s in the design concept phase and not ready to be launched as a product. I’ll be sure to keep you updated as that status changes,” said Lee Mokri, with Dell’s public relations firm, Enfatico.”

Enfatico Pitches – Dell Walks

Ok, so Dell has not walked away for Enfatico (yet), but this recent Agency Spy post does share that Dell is talking to other shops.

Oh, and Vonage has selected TBWA/Chiat/Day after a pitch that included Enfatico and Saatchi.

Enfatico – Is the End Near?

Here are some choice excerpts from a recent AdScam blog post:

“the fuckers are not currently paying their employee freelancers. This has been going on for months and people are quitting.”

“The douchenozzles have been reported to the Texas Workforce Commission for this practice.”

“Dell has had their lawyers serve Enfatico with breach-of- contract papers, for failing to deliver on anything they claimed they could do.”

“Holy shit, I wonder how much longer before Dell pulls the plug on this fiasco?”

Here’s the full blog post: Is Enfatico finally fucked?
