danielmramos Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Is Dell in a time warp? Didn't they try to go down this route something like 8 years ago with a "we can do it to" model after the imacs release? I believe they cancelled it less than a year letter. And by the way, whoa colors, who would have ever thought of such an amazing marketing strategy (old). Are they only capable of regurgitating old ideas? What a bunch of goobers!

danielmramos Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Ok, almost all references to their past attempt have disappeared;however, this one is still up and it shows the colors they used to offer with their WebPC that they offered back in 1999. they discontinued it in 2000. Notice how they are very similar approaches? The hardware is improved a bit, but it is essentially a complete rehash. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology...de/1278431.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118304-new-dell-studio-hybrid-pc/#findComment-838053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmramos Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Here is the lame commercial Dell made for the last time they tried this out with their failed WebPC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfZhaUWgrYM Old ideas never seem to die at Dell. They just seem to slumber only to rise like zombies from the past. Hey, maybe this should be called Dell's zombie pc, since it is the living dead of past Dell failures. What will they resurrect next?

Synaesthesia Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 (Thanks to Daring Fireball) These are very nice new small Intel PC's (core 2 duo and such) from Dell which start at $500. Whatcha guys think? Dell Studio Hybrid PC It's about time Dell made something you won't be embarrassed to have sitting around. The Dell Studio Hybrid PC ($500 and up) is the company's smallest and greenest desktop, and can be personalized with six interchangeable color sleeves or one in bamboo. The Studio Hybrid is about 80% smaller and uses about 70% less power than a typical desktop. Powered by either an Intel Pentium Dual Core (1.86GHz) or Intel Core 2 Duo (2GHz) processor, the mini PC features slot-load DVD, HDMI, an optional Blu-ray Disc drive and an optional TV tuner.

vbetts Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I like the way they look. They're pretty good for a media center PC too, considering the size. But this isn't really marketed as a tiny form factor PC, it's more marketed as a hybrid green PC.

i*C Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 what is cool is that they use same graphics as macbook... my toshiba satelite uses same card no problems what so ever...

Synaesthesia Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I was hoping they would have dedicated graphics of some sort - no such luck. Well now of course they're not nearly as nice as iMacs. And unlike the Mac Mini, they don't include OS X. I'd still rather have a Mac.

vbetts Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 No one said anything about Mac Os X. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118304-new-dell-studio-hybrid-pc/#findComment-838274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Am I the only one excited about this? It looks as if this can run OS X no problem, and I might just order one to put in my basement for a little PC setup next to the entertainment center. I'm looking forward for this. Hopefully if funds go good on my end, I hope to get one of these for the living room, a couple of 360 controllers, and use this for roms.

dillon31292 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 That's pretty hot, actually. I wouldn't mind having one to use as a media centre, but the integrated GPU sort of sucks.

Superhai Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 It reminds me of my old LG projector. But I think it is stylish, and I am sure it is great for most people who dont do game and just ordinary surfiing, watching movies, listening to music etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118304-new-dell-studio-hybrid-pc/#findComment-838353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slip Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 HTPC Always comes back to graphics. I read that the AMD 780G can't really handle full 1080p video via the onboard HDMI . Can't image that x3100 would do any better ? , nice to know if they'd work under LEO though. Still I'm all for Small from factor.

danielmramos Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Truly, for the price they are selling their WebPC 2.0 can someone tell me how it is a better value than a mac mini. It seems like the mac mini is priced better and comes with OS X to boot. Of course there is that other little thing that it is made by Dell. I for one wouldn't trust dell to keep this machine shipping for any significant amount of time. They always seem to drop their minimalist designs and go back to standard pc boxes.

Synaesthesia Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, the Mac Mini is still better value. Amazing. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118304-new-dell-studio-hybrid-pc/#findComment-840284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Not really, for me anyways. The biggest thing, that I would want in a tiny PC like this, a blu ray player. I can get a Bluray player in the Dell, I can't in the Mac Mini.
