PC Mag Review the Dell Studio Hybrid Mini PC

I’m all for PC’s taking different form factors and these look nice (I think) not sure about the wood effect one.

PC Mag has one in for review and give it 3.5 out of 5.

As their review points out this is in direct competition with Apple’s Mac Mini.

 

The Dell Studio Hybrid can however be configured with a blu ray drive and output HD over HDMI so this becomes interesting for those wanting a tidy/small PC based HD experience.

    Wow, 26 Watts when idle and 44 Watts at full load! This is 10x less then a typical desktop PC. It should definately appeal to eco-friendly people and businesses, plus anyone else who wants to cut down on the ever increasing electricity costs.

    Pitty it won’t attract anyone who wants to play games. I know a decent graphics cards eats up at least 100 Watts at full load, but there are low power, high-performance GPUs specially made for laptops that Dell could source which would tempt non-hardcore gamers with a green conscience.

    Hi Gary

    Yes the Intel video does seem to limit the gaming potential of the Hybrid but should be sufficient for media playback etc.
