$$500 Adamo 13!!!

1.Buy the 256Gb SSD ADAMO 13, for $999.
2.Remove the SSD drive, put it on Ebay for $600. (sold between $500-$600)
3.Replace the SSD with 256GB 7200rpm ($100)

You got yourself a premium laptop for $500, great deal for college students and casual users. Beats the hell out of MBA rev.A, and most/all current netbook offerings. For those who don't think this is a GREAT deal, failed to recognize value and quality.

A little more work, but worth the saving if you're willing to take that route. Exclusivity of the Adamo 13 is also a very nice bonus. Best looking PC laptop, yet.

I don't know that a 256 GB SSD will bring $600? If so, Dell is really pricing this too low. I still think it's a great deal at $999... it doesn't need to be $500 to be bargain.
