AS SUSPECTED DELL ADAMO HAS NON-USER REPLACEABLE BATTERY

This just sucks, turns out that Dell's new Adamo does not carry a user replaceable battery. So as you can guess that means that if you should happen to have the charging power of your battery completely die on you, then you will be required to send your prized Adamo to some service center miles away to have them take care of it.Your guess is as good as ours involving pricing though but who wants

MAC MINI DISPLAY PORT PICKING UP GROUND
