  • Small yet power PC

    The Dell Studio Hybrid PC is a small form factor PC that retains much of the power found in large desktop computers. The compact design gives the Studio Hybrid a smaller desktop footprint than a notebook and even some netbooks.

  • Small footprint

    A potential business workstation.

  • Stylish design

    This could also make a nice non-obtrusive media PC

  • Glossy finish

    The sleek, small design doesn't do justice to the performance. The Studio Hybrid sports a Core 2 Duo processor - no slouch there.

  • Simple front

    Two USB ports, headphone jack, media reader slot and DVD player (slot-loaded)

  • Backside ports

    Note there are plenty of ports on the back, but also note they are all digital. No VGA out here.

  • Simple stand

    The stand is not much to look at and it is made of plastic, but it does a surprisingly good job of holding the PC steady.
