Not a mm short of 1cm, 0.01mm. Honestly, if you're in the market for a laptop like this then you're clearly far more worried about style than functionality. In which case, you'd be a fool not to go for the MacBook Air. It'd also probably hold its value better too.
If I owned one of these I'd be afraid to take it anywhere for fear of it snapping in half.... which would kind of defeat the point of me having one, anyway.

Approximately 1mm. However, since they were comparing it to the MacBook Air, I assumed that it would require and external CD/DVD Drive as well, due to it's thickness (or lack thereof).
1. It needs a quad core processor
2. It needs 8gb of ram
3. It needs a blu ray burner
4. the screen needs to be 1920x1280
5. It needs at least a 9 hour battery
and it needs to batch edit raw files and hd video on the road for me....
I guess that takes me out of the running for this thing.
If I had an extra $2,000 I'd pick one of these up and make it my traveling laptop. Probably can't weigh more than 2 pounds which is a hell of a lot lighter than my T61 or 15" Macbook Pro. Although judging by Dell's pricing of the other Adamo $2,000 might not cut it, and I thought the Air was overpriced!
i don't anything wrong with a laptop under 1 cm think if i want to travel and just check emails and surf the web, maybe watch some movies on the plane,...
Regarding the lack of optical drive, I think we're almost at the point of it making sense to replace discs with SD cards and their ilk, as most things will fit onto something that only costs a couple of bucks. At least offer it as an alternative.
"the reigning champion, the Apple MacBook Air"....
and who exactly decided that?..., Oh, yeah, the Apple fan who's writing the article...
I'm sick of biased articles.
Now go ahead and give your thumb down, like I give a f..k....
