Dell debuts ultra-small studio hybrid desktop

Dell has unveiled an ultra-small desktop PC, that it’s calling a ‘hybrid’, which features a laptop processor. The hybrid studio doesn’t compromise on the features that it offers but also offers significant savings in power bills as the hybrid model consumes less power than a regular desktop with similar hardware configuration. Dell claims that this studio hybrid PC uses upto 70 percent less energy, thus making it extremely energy efficient and Energy Star 4.0 compliant.

This smallest desktop PC from Dell is roughly about the size of a collegiate dictionary and can be easily placed in book shelf next to an actual dictionary. That makes it about 80 percent smaller than typical desktop mini-tower. The PC can be setup in either vertical or horizontal orientation depending on the requirement. Hybrid PC takes personalization to the next level with the choice of seven optional interchangeable external finishes or color sleeves. These colors are Bamboo, Emerald, Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Slate, and Topaz.

The studio hybrid PC can connect to HD TV via a standard HDMI port and features variety of optional technologies such as Wi-Fi networking, wireless keyboard and mouse, Blu-ray Disc drive, TV tuner card, multiple flat panel display options etc.

Dell studio hybrid is available at a starting price of $400. That’s pretty attractive pricing!
