A first look at the Dell Studio Hybrid PC

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.
