Dell releases mini desktops


DELL HAS ANNOUNCED a new range of compact desktop machines under the Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop moniker.
Dell is marketing the Studio Hybrid based on its green(er) credentials claiming the new systems consume 70 per cent less power than standard desktops, and that 95 per cent of its packaging is recyclable.
The small-form desktops come in a wide range of colours, including grey, red, green, pink, orange, and even a bamboo-effect style.

Re: Dell releases mini desktops

What the heck is Hybrid about them? They run on gasoline and electricity?
I love it when marketing people outthink themselves.

Re: Dell releases mini desktops

Hyrbid denotes lower power usage.

The word "hybrid" has become synonymous with the Eco movement. I actually think its a brilliant name.

They don't look half bad either. Nice form factor.

I don't know what page you went to but here you can clearly see both more colors and how the DVD is inserted. There's a Blu-ray option.

The bamboo skin is delicious.

I've been doing a lot of research into small form factor since I saw the latest intel micro-atx stuff at newegg. I am typing this on a pc I put together that has the atom based intel board in it.

For something just as delicious, take a look at this puppy:
Chenbro Micom Co., Ltd.

Put this board in it:
Newegg.com - Intel BOXDG45FC LGA 775 Intel G45 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

And add Windows Home Server (or anything really).....oh yeah.
