Today, Dell announced about new mini desktop PC - the Studio Hybrid, is a small form-factor desktop with a novel design that competes with the Apple Mac mini and HP Slimline series. The other two, the Dell Inspiron 13 laptop and Dell Inspiron 518 desktop, are more practical back-to-school boxes. [Read the C/Net's review]
Dell’s most unique, stylish, and conscientious desktop PC. Designed to fit into your environment while protecting the environment.
* Personalize with 6 interchangeable color sleeves or bamboo
* Ultra-compact design with Intel mobile technology performance
* Features include slot-load DVD, HDMI, and optional Blu-rayTM
* Dell’s greenest, most power-efficient consumer desktop
* Improved performance and better protection with Windows Vista® Home Premium
The Studio Hybrid is small, too, 80 per cent smaller than "most" desktop computers, says Dell. With seven interchangeable skins - Bamboo, Emerald, Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Slate and Topaz - it's a system that'll fit nicely into most homes.
Dell claims that it consumes 71% less energy than a typical mini-tower and is Energy Star 4.0 Certified. Its packaging is using recycled materials and is obviously recyclable itself and instead of shipping with a paper manual, it comes with on CD that contains all the documentation. Included is a “recycling kit” that will help users dispose of their computers in an environment-friendly way.
It is very small and eco-friendly desktop PC: 7.08”(h) x 8.26”(d) x 2.75”(w), which is comparable to an external drive – cool huh? Take a look at the Dell's website
