The good:Flexible design lets you customize appearance and positioning; best combination of looks and specifications among supersmall desktops.
The bad:Standard budget PCs offer better price-performance and more upgradeability; laptops deliver better space economy with similar specifications for the dollar.
The bottom line:If you’re considering all of the computers in the $700 to $1,000 price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you’ll appreciate this system’s clever design and its relatively powerful hardware.
