UNBOXING: Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop PC

by Edge on February 12, 2010

UPDATE: I've published part one of my deep dive here: tinyurl.com ***Please rate, comment and subscribe. Thank you*** This is an unboxing and first impressions video of the Dell Studio Hybrid, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. Configured with an Intel Core 2 Duo T2390 (1.86 Ghz) CPU, 3 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, an 8x slot-loading DVD burner, and an Intel X3100 GPU. The colour is "Ruby", and cost me $744 Canadian with taxes direct from Dell. Check out Digital Home Thoughts for more news and reviews – and join our community! www.digitalhomethoughts.com

I’m not sure – I haven’t reviewed it. I’m disappointed that Dell put the craptastic AMD Neo CPU in it – and by the time you go for the dual-core version of the Neo, the Zino starts to get pretty expensive.

I have this computer, its okay.
I use it a little for low end games, but it powers down A LOT. Probably to be expected with its power adapter.
Its nice for general media though. A shame you can’t put in a different video card, but considering how the power adapter is it wouldn’t go far.

Not a fan of Dell but i have to give kudos on the design

It’s very quiet even when under heavy use. I was quite impressed by that! Check out my other videos.

Hi, nice vid!
How noisy is the Hybird when under heavy use?

ThoughtsMedia February 12, 2010 at 9:30 am

Watch all the videos, I show where the CD goes – it’s a slot-loading drive.

ThoughtsMedia February 12, 2010 at 10:28 am

Indeed. The current GPU is fully sucktastic. This would be a GREAT machine if they updated it to something better…

I really like this but the thing that bugs me is the antiquated 3100 GMA graphics this is only 300+ MB get that sorted or maybe update the graphics card to maybe a X4500 this will allow a bit more power out of the graphics

usuckirule3 February 12, 2010 at 12:03 pm

where does the cd go? i didnt see a cd drive?

JD8994 February 12, 2010 at 12:05 pm
