Dell’s Hybrid mini PC is pretty much their worst kept secret ever (which is kinda sayin’ something!) but as of now it can officially adorn the desktop corners of eco- and space-conscious college freshmen or slip into entertainment centers for $499. It’s 80 percent smaller than a standard desktop while slurping 70 percent less power, and 95 percent of the packaging is recyclable, plus it comes with a system recycling kit.

The Dell™ Studio Hybrid comes with a wireless radio frequency (RF) mouse and keyboard (Figure 1). They are effective out to ~9m (27-30 feet) and use AA alkaline batteries. The keyboard is a hybrid of traditional desktop and laptop keyboard features. The keyboard has a desktop layout, 3×2 edit key configuration, multimedia keys, number keypad, and scroll wheel. The wireless keyboard and mouse come pre-synchronized and will work out-of-the-box.
