Dell killed off the Adamo line, but it’s not giving up on making ultrathin premium notebooks. The company has created a Facebook page for a sleek new consumer laptop called the Dell XPS 15z. The machine sports a 15.6-inch screen, machine metaled speaker grilles, and a razor-thin profile. The laptop will reportedly give shoppers a choice of second-gen Core i5 or i7 processors, so you won’t have to sacrifice speed for a svelte look.

As you can see from the photos and video below, the XPS 15z features an external battery meter with its own button, as well as a slot-loading optical drive. You’ll also notice a chiclet-style keyboard, which we’re going to assume is backlit. We’d love it if Dell could squeeze in speakers as robust as what’s found on the XPS 15. We really like that multimedia laptop, but our main complaint is its bulk. From the look of things, we won’t be complaining for much longer. Stay tuned for more details.
