Realizing that people like computers to be good looking as well as functional, Dell has made massive strides over the last year or two in revamping their products' austere image. The new Studio Hybrid desktop is no exception to this rule. The new machine is being marketed as appropriate not just in the office, but anywhere in the home, including in a spot in your home theater setup. With an optional Blu-Ray disc drive, up to 4GB of RAM and a Core 2 Duo processor, Dell's proving that big things can come in small packages.Design
Dell hails the new Hybrid Studio as being 80% smaller than a traditional desktop computer, while using around 70% of the power -- this is largely due to the use of several laptop components in the build. They have managed to get an Energy Star 4.0 certification but that isn't where their environmentally-friendly efforts stop. Packaging and paper documentation have been greatly reduced and is almost 95% recyclable. A system recycling kit is also included.
