Back in 2009 Dell launched their original Adamo and with it signalled their recognition that there were a group of consumers out there who were looking for a slim, luxury system which might compete with the MacBook Air. In terms of technology and design that system was reasonably well received however the original price point felt a little too high for most.
The Adamo XPS was however still a luxury product and therefore consumers who were looking for some high end styling and build quality still had to pay a significant amount for it... that was until the XPS 15 a great mix of mainstream components and XPS build quality at a very reasonable price.
Now Dell are back with the XPS 15z, a slimmer, higher specification model which combines an aluminium chassis with 2nd Generation Core CPU and GeForce GPU in a portable form factor which Dell states is the thinnest 15" PC available, anywhere. Today we have the XPS 15z on our test bench and will be putting it through a selection of real world and synthetic tests to find out if the great features and performance of the XPS 15 has been continued in this new model.Here the specification Dell xps 15z:
