Dell Studio Hybrid Review

dell studio hybrid Not so long ago, in a galaxy far far away, a simple computer could literally fill up a whole room with wires, screens, and things that constantly went beep until you wanted to sacrifice your soul to the devil. As time moved on, computers became smaller, but not always for the better.

Having wasted my formative years spending hours typing code into my 1K ZX81 only for the programme not to work, I for one am not fooled by a computers size.

To say the Dell Australia Studio Hybrid is a bit sexy is like saying Russell Crowe is a reasonable actor. This machine oozes class from the exterior, and if it had a hand I would ask for it in marriage, it really is that hot! The shell has a selection of colours to please even the most discerning palletes, including an ultra sleek bamboo casing which would blend in perfectly if you were stranded on a desert island with only coconuts for company.

The Dell Studio Hybrid may look a bit puny, bit trust me, under the hood the components are a match for any machine thrice the size. Let’s have a look -

2.1GHz Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor
2GB of memory
Intel Media Accelerator 3100 Graphics Card
Built-in Wi-Fi
TV tuner
Wireless keyboard and mouse
8x dual-layer DVD burner
8-in-1 memory card reader

You like? Downfalls are it doesn’t come fitted with a screen as standard (though you can add one when ordering), so yes, OK it’s not perfect, but hey show me a computer that is and I will show you a ZX Spectum 48K with an ‘R tape loading error’.

The Studio Hybrid is sex on legs, which is just as well as you can stand it up vertically and admire it’s form from afar. Do I want to go on a date with this computer? I’ll leave you to be the judge of that…
