A green PC from Dell? You could easily come to that conclusion just from the name of their Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop. You would be wrong though. This is a “super small” desktop PC. The closest it gets to being green is the “Emerald” color option. There is also a bamboo shell option available, which may be even more green.

Compared with other PCs in the same price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop falls a bit short. You could get more power from a similarly priced desktop PC. If saving space is important, a notebook in the same price range would do better. A standard PC would also be easier to upgrade.

On the plus side though, the Studio Hybrid is quite cleverly designed, and the hardware performance isn’t bad for such a small package. It is also quite unique, and is one of the best looking portable desktop computers I’ve seen. This is not a toy computer; it can be configured into a relatively powerful computer.
