Review: Dell Studio Hybrid PC

 

Despite what your gut may tell you, the Dell Studio Hybrid doesn't actually run on a combination of ethanol and D-cells. It does, however, consume...

Sips power, unlike those heinous watt-guzzling towers. Swappable color sleeves let you change the paint job to match your mood-or paint job. Reports for media-center duty with HDMI port and slot-loading Blu-ray drive. Metal stand cleverly morphs...

Wussy integrated graphics choke on 3D games. Looks rigged for silent running, but actually runs a little noisy. 0 bamboo sleeve will only appeal to aristocratic pandas

Dell Studio Hybrid

 

Dell's new Studio Hybrid makes a strong impression with its stylish design, and its price will make you take notice, too. A basic configuration starts at $499, without monitor; our test configuration, with a 19-inch LCD monitor, cost $1064.

Sleek, attractive design

Mediocre performance ; Not expandable

This aesthetically pleasing system has a terrific compact design, but it sacrifices performance for miniaturization.

Dell Studio Hybrid

 

The Dell Studio Hybrid is a small-form-factor desktop with a unique cylindrical ovoid design.

No crapware. Compact. Energy efficient. Nice design. Customizable shells. Nice multimedia keyboard and mouse with back/forward buttons. Wireless networking (draft 802.11n).

Only a 30-day subscription to Internet Security. No internal expansion. Weak integrated graphics. External power brick.

Dell Studio Hybrid

Flexible design lets you customize appearance and positioning; best combination of looks and specifications among supersmall desktops.

Standard budget PCs offer better price-performance and more upgradeability; laptops deliver better space economy with similar specifications for the dollar.

If you're considering all of the computers in the $700 to $1,000 price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate this system's clever design and its...

If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.

The Dell Studio Hybrid is a disappointment. On the one hand, it's one of the most visually attractive consumer propositions Dell has ever created. The look and style of the SH is undeniably cool. But that isn't quite enough to compensate for its...

Dell Studio Hybrid Small Form Factor Desktop

 

Two perpetually, almost fad-like and recurring themes for computing technology in 2008 are low power, environmentally friendly products as well as tiny, small form-factor or ultra-portable machines. Power consumption and size -- it has become...

Sleek, Small and Stylish ; Very Low Power Consumption ; HDMI Output ; Good Performance-Per-Watt

Needs A G45 Chipset Infusion ; 5400 RPM Hard Drive A Bit Pokey

Summarizing the performance of the Dell Studio Hybrid, we have to consider its target application. The machine is engineered to provide desktop-like performance at notebook-like power consumption. In that light, we came away impressed with the numbers....
