Dell's Adamo arrives in white

We previously got an exclusive early hands-on look at the Dell Adamo, the new luxury 13-inch that's one of the most buzzed-about new laptops of 2009. That was a pre-production model in black (Dell calls it "onyx") and now our final shipping version of the Adamo has arrived, and this is the white "pearl" version.

As a Core 2 Duo laptop that's less than 17mm thick, the Adamo is much more powerful than other new slim systems such as HP's 12-inch Pavilion dv2 (with a new AMD Athlon Neo CPU). It's also much more expensive at S$4,499 (US$3,226.25).

Check out these new pics of the new white Adamo after the break.

Apple fixing cracks in white plastic MacBooks

Apple has apparently begun to acknowledge the existence of small white cracks in older plastic MacBooks, according to a report.

AppleInsider says Apple service providers started receiving notices last month that the plastic chassis on the white 13-inch MacBook released in 2006 can crack in four different spots. Apple had previously helped out users who had noticed hairline cracks around the trackpad on the top of the notebook, but did not acknowledge cracks in other places as a design flaw, according to AppleInsider.

Using a gold bullion for a mouse

For those who think wearing thick gold chains a la Mr T is cool, pay close attention to this mouse. Built to resemble a huge gold bullion, this wireless rodent does not seem to be the most ergonomic peripheral around. But what's a little carpal tunnel syndrome for a device which will fit right in if your room were designed by Austin Powers. Our only complaint is that this mouse does not use Bluetooth, and thus you'll need to stick to a decidedly ungold-like USB dongle for your machine.

If this tickles your fancy, score a unit for 24.99 pounds (S$55.67) from online retailer I Want One Of Those.

In new Acer line: Bigger Netbooks, better batteries

Acer, the global PC giant that also owns the Gateway, eMachines, and Packard Bell brands, announced a collection of new systems during a press event held at New Jersey's Liberty Science Center.

Interspaced with a series of IMAX videos containing enigmatic imagery and slogans ("Light as your time can be"), Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci discussed the company's "multibrand" strategy for selling new products across the Acer and Gateway brands. The emphasis was on Netbooks--not surprising, given the success of the Acer Aspire One--and new ultraportable systems with Intel's newest ultralow-voltage central processing units.
