Please explain the joke: "What do you call a computer that sings?"
Hi!
The answer is A Dell. Could you please tell me why that computer sings? Does it mean motherboard makes sound or audiocard? Is A DELL the brand name of a computer?
If it is a reference to the singer Adele, so does it mean Adele sings like a computer using computer "beeping" sound/voice?
I don't understand....

It’s a play on words. I think you are right that it references the singer Adele. The punchline of the joke is that A Dell (the computer) and Adele (the singer) are similar words. It doesn’t go any deeper than that in terms of the sound of Adele’s voice etc.
These kind of jokes are notorious for not actually being funny.
