Say what you will about the love it or hate it design of the Dell Adamo XPS ($1,800), but it sure as hell isn't dull. The world's thinnest laptop — if you can call it that — at just 9.99mm thick, the Adamo XPS sports a crazy design that sees the razor thin keyboard fold back up into top when not in use, and serving to delicately balance the machine when open. Other features include a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Windows 7 64-bit, 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, dual USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and more.

Don't dare call it a netbook. The Litl ($700), the first "webbook" from Boston-based Litl, is a mix between a netbook and a photo frame on steroids. It packs standard netbook hardware — a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, HDMI output, 1GB of RAM, 2GB of flash memory, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, a webcam, mic, and speakers — but moves beyond the typical mini-laptop paradigm with a customized OS and a unique design that allows the 12.1-inch screen to be rotated past 180 degrees, letting it stand on its own like an easel, displaying content such as a Facebook feed, photos from Flickr or Shutterfly, Weather Channel forecasts, and more.

It's about time. Apple finally updated its long-in-the-tooth non-aluminum laptop today with the release of the new MacBook ($1,000). Bringing it up to speed with its Pro counterparts, the new base-level MacBook features a polycarbonate unibody design with a non-skid bottom surface, an LED-backlit 13.3-inch display, a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA 9400M graphics, Apple's latest built-in battery technology for up to seven hours of battery life, and a glass multi-touch trackpad. Sadly, there's no black option this time around.

If you've been wanting an ultra-thin laptop but wouldn't dare pick up a computer with a screen smaller than 15 inches, feast your eyes on the Dell Latitude Z ($1,800 and up).

While Nokia might not be the first name you'd think of when shopping for a new netbook, the company is looking to change that with the Nokia Booklet 3G ($TBA).

It's great that Apple has moved almost all their laptops over to the über-solid Unibody aluminum format, but not so great for those that liked the understated black models of MacBooks and PowerBooks past. The new Stealth MacBook Pro ($6,000) coats the new 15-inch MBP with SofTouch material, leaving it with a no-nonsense matte black finish that any spy would be proud of. Other features include a custom matte screen, a 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and an aire of exclusivity that only a limited edition run of ten units can buy.
