    Dell Studio Hybrid
    If you've been paying attention, you remember all those blurry-vision pictures of an upcoming Dell mini desktop called the Studio Hybrid. As it turns out, those spy images were more than speculation, as an anonymous reader tipped us off to one of Dell's internal customer service session pages that guides the rep through some wireless keyboard and mouse resynchronization steps. The Dell Studio Hybrid appears to be codenamed "Nausicaa" (if image filenames are to be believed) will come with a wireless mouse and keyboard powered by AA batteries, and it seems Dell believes that customers will need some help setting up these potentially finicky perpipherals. As for when this new mini-desktop will be available, we're still in the dark on that, but a back-to-school number this like wouldn't be such a bad idea. We're not sure how long the page will remain up once our readers have poked at it, but we captured the images in a handy gallery for that inevitable moment.

    not bad, and yea, if they can get it out in time for back-to-school, they might have something on their hands... remember the HP slimline? and wireless peripherals...bt?

    Looks like it's got potential, but will it stop the giant sea of corruption from killing us all, using the power of love?

    Looks like they paired it with the new S2409W in the pictures.

    I do know that the monitor they're most heavily marketing with it is the SE198WFP for an additional $200.

    That's what I have here at work. I am not too sure I like the new monitors with the 16:9 AR. For the same price I'd probably just get the E248WFP or 2408WFP if I could afford it.

    That's weird, I posted a website about this yesterday, and it was right about them being released today, but it was wrong about the fact that they suppose to include the new Montevina processors.

    I just checked it out for the heck of it, to get any kind of decent specs (no montevina yet either :rolleyes:), that thing gets expensive, no monitor included in price either.
    I think it would be better to get an equivalent laptop, for around the same price. :rolleyes:
    I think it's a rip-off.

    The unit looks soo much better than the original bamboo one they leaked out. Either that or they have some terrific photoshoppers out there. The pics on the main site are gorgeous! :)

    This is the bamboo one. You can choose it as a cover when ordering, but it is $130 more. Ouch!
