Dell turned to PDT to develop the thinnest notebook of the moment.

A New Vision

We brought our knowledge of material processes, and engineering and construction methodologies to help Dell achieve their first new vision with the Dell Adamo 13; a machine built upon technical excellence and the ethos of craftsmanship.

New Goal: 10mm? "Precision Engineering" of the Dell Adamo

World's Thinnest Notebook

Before the launch of the Dell Adamo 13, another challenge was already underway. "Can we make the world's thinnest notebook?"

Dell Adamo Prototypes

An Attainable Goal

Proving the goal was attainable, PDT created working aggregate prototypes for analysis and demonstration amongst key stakeholders at Dell. With the green light, our focus turned to detailing the Dell Adamo.

Both award winning notebooks broke records in terms of thinness, and remain as Halo products influencing notebook products across all price points, helping Dell reach new levels of innovation and appeal.
