Dell Studio Hybrid ‘has terrific design’

Dell’s Studio Hybrid PC has been praised for its "terrific compact design" in a review.

Melissa J Perenson from PC Advisor said that the PC, which can be set either vertically or horizontally, has a stylish design which makes a "strong impression" on a consumer.

The Studio Hybrid features a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of memory, which the reviewer explains is not expandable so there is no chance of getting graphics "beyond the integrated Intel" capabilities.

All the ports on the device, which allow USB, Ethernet and FireWire connection, are "neatly arranged", according to Ms Perenson, who also praises the Studio Hybrid’s integrated dual-layer DVD burner.

"The Dell Studio Hybrid PC’s so-so performance limits its versatility, but the idea of having a stylish, unobtrusive system to connect to my television appeals to us," explains the reviewer.

Dell recently unveiled three new laser printers, the 2135cn multifunction, 2130cn and the 3130cn.

All three devices are Energy Star 1.0 certified and highly energy efficient, according to the manufacturer.
