Dell Studio Hybrid Review
August 14, 2008
The Dell Studio Hybrid is the latest new Dell product range being released – I got to take a sneak-peek at it at the recent Dell Studio Laptop launch at Silverstone, so here’s what I thought to it…
Do you still have one of those large, noisy, beige boxes of a computer sat on your desk? Do you like the idea of minimalist computing like you often see with Apple Macs? The Studio Hybrid is a new breed of computer from Dell.
The Dell Hybrid is a highly compact desktop computer which Dell has really tried to make as green as possible – in the environmental sense at least, the actual case features an interchangeable ‘shell’ casing that comes in a variety of colours see-through colours as well as a bamboo casing which gives it a real distinctive look – it certainly fits well in with their design-conscious Dell Studio Laptop range.

Following up on my coverage of the recent Dell Studio laptop launch that I attended at the recent Dell Silverstone Formula 1 testing day, I thought I’d just do a quick post rounding up some of the coverage from that day.
My friend Gaj over at Gaj-It.com has done a bit of video editing of some of the various videos that he took on day and created a cool montage video that pretty much covers the events and atmosphere of the day, check it out below:

July 12, 2008
A few weeks ago I was invited by Dell to attend a Silverstone Formula 1 testing day (26th June 2008) which was actually the final testing session before the British Grand Prix took place there just over a week later. The purpose of the day was for launching the new Dell Studio laptops, this would be the second Dell event that I’d been asked to take part in, it was therefore a great opportunity and I gladly accepted.
Only then did I then find out that we’d be getting flown into Silverstone by helicopter – a place, where on the day of the British Grand Prix is the busiest “Heli-port” in the world!
I had to meet up at an Elstree Aerodrome in North London for 8.30am – it meant I had to get up at around 3am – which is probably the earliest I’ve ever had to, so that was bit of a shock to the system! I was out the house and on the road by around 4am – but it would ultimately be a very worthwhile journey!

On 26th June, I had the opportunity to attend the launch of Dell’s new range of computers at Silverstone, a new brand that they are calling ‘Studio’ which will sit between their current Inspiron and XPS ranges of laptops.
Dell Studio branded computers are “designed to foster creativity and innovation” – that being the case you need a computer that will help you achieve that, one whose own design is creative and innovative.
The Dell Studio laptop brand is one that will be providing a higher performance than their Dell Inspiron range while taking some of the design and higher level functionality of the Dell XPS range. It also at the same time provokes creativity and personal expression by being available in a range of colour and design/trim options.
