The already crowded laptop market has recently seen a new class of entrants.  The new products belong to a segment called budget thin-and-lights, or CULV (consumer ultra-low voltage) laptops if you listen to Intel.  Meant to sit between the super low-price netbooks and high-dollar ultraportables, like the MacBook Air, these new notebooks (which lack optical drives) are aimed at students and frequent travelers who want an affordable and light laptop, but need something more full-sized and full-powered than a netbook.

Dell has finally officially annouced the Dell Adamo 13 they teased at CES. Here is the full rundown.

Google. Amazon. Dell. Sidekick. Helio?  Let’s recap all the rumors that floated through the tech-o-sphere this week.
