Compare Prices : Dell Studio Hybrid - Expert Reviews

Review summary: A computer that won't look out of place in the living room

Review summary: A computer that won't look out of place in the living room

Pros: Great looks ; Fairly powerful ; Large hard disk ; Quiet

Cons: High price ; No Blu-ray ; No TV tuner

Verdict: It's true that you're paying extra for the looks, but then this computer really won't look out of place in the living room, and might even attract a few admiring glances from guests

Review summary: Small, funky and fast, the studio hybrid is the pick of the small PCs. You've read our first impressions, now see our full review of the Dell Studio Hybrid.

Verdict: The advantage to the faster components is performance: where the Eee Box 202 scored a lowly 0.39 in the PC Authority benchmarks, the Studio Hybrid has more than enough power to run Photoshop with its much more impressive 1.13

Review summary: The aesthetically pleasing Dell Studio Hybrid PC has a terrific compact design, but it sacrifices performance for miniaturisation

Verdict: Dell's new Studio Hybrid makes a strong impression with its stylish design, and its price will make you take notice, too. A basic configuration starts at $1249, without monitor; our test configuration, with a 19-inch LCD monitor, will cost around $1699

Review summary: THE Hybrid represents a new wave of small PCs that are small yet functional and quite affordable.

Pros: Small size, good performance, plenty of connectivity features, DVD burner

Cons: No eject button on the unit (nor on the keyboard) for the DVD burner - apart from that, we think it's great

Verdict: The Hybrid represents a new wave of small PCs that are actually small yet functional and quite affordable. If you're after a small PC, we think the Hybrid is the one to go for.
