The Dell Studio MT system is faster and better equipped than its competition, and at a better price. You can certainly get away with a cheaper everyday PC, but this one is a bargain among lower midrange desktops.
The Energy Take Classic's combination of excellent sound quality and a small form factor makes it one of the best surround sound speaker systems in its price range.
Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price.
The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor missteps, but if you need a do-it-all mainstream tower system, this Dell more or less covers all the bases.
Shuttle's midrange XPC G5 3600mc is slick looking and compact, but it falls short of other small-form-factor systems.
Dell's updated flagship gaming desktop incorporates the latest hardware from Intel, Nvidia, and AMD into a system that delivers some very impressive gaming scores. We'd give it a higher recommendation if it wasn't so expensive compared with systems from the competition.
Dell's new Studio Desktop introduces 64-bit Windows Vista to the Dell desktop lineup, but that's about the only thing this system does well. Its biggest, and deal-killing, fault is the overpriced and less-than-aggressive selection of configuration options.
Falcon Northwest's FragBox might be the best known small-form-factor gaming PC, but Maingear's X-Cube is currently the most up-to-date. With the latest of everything, if you want a gaming desktop for on-the-road fragging, look no further.
GM deserves kudos for its first hybrid SUV. It won't break any performance records, and its hybrid system could use some refinement, but the Saturn Vue Green Line is a decent combination of form and function for the price.
The Dell Inspiron 530 has very little that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your budget desktop, we can recommend no other.
Dell Studio Hybrid Review
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.
