Dell Studio Hybrid becomes official

Dell is going to officially announce its Studio Hybrid “green” mini PC. In case you have not followed the leaks and rumors, Dell claims that it consumes 71% less energy than a typical mini-tower and is Energy Star 4.0 Certified. Its packaging is using recycled materials and is obviously recyclable itself and instead of shipping with a paper manual, it comes with on CD that contains all the documentation. Included is a “recycling kit” that will help users dispose of their computers in an environment-friendly way.

Physically, it is very small: 7.08”(h) x 8.26”(d) x 2.75”(w), which is comparable to an external drive – cool huh? Take a look at our photo gallery to see a closer view made during our hands-on.
