Today IT PRO headed to John Lewis' flagship store on Oxford Street to take a first look at Dell's latest laptop that claims to be the thinnest in the world.

Sold exclusively at John Lewis, the Adamo XPS is quite a sight to behold and truly is astoundingly thin 9.9mm to be exact. This means it is not much thicker than a pound coin and definitely slimmer than a standard Nokia smartphone we checked.

The silver design is very sleek and although upon looking at it you may worry it is fragile, it still feels incredibly sturdy whilst still light when we picked it up - 1.44kg says Dell.
