***Please rate, comment and subscribe. Thank you***

This is part two of a three-part deep dive video series on the Dell Studio Hybrid, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. Configured with an Intel Core 2 Duo T2390 (1.86 Ghz) CPU, 3 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, an 8x slot-loading DVD burner, and an Intel X3100 GPU. The colour is "Ruby", and cost me $744 Canadian with taxes direct from Dell.ca.

hey do this supports media well?i mean i have to use video editing softwares like pinnacle and ediusso do it performs well on that part and how about the heat?

plz replyme fast

[ThoughtsMedia]

@malhotramovies1 As long as you keep in mind that it's a laptop CPU in there, then yes, it supports video editing.I didn't see any heat issues. People are far too concerned with heat issues - modern desktops and laptops are engineered to be very tolerant of heat build-up.

Awesome review, one question though, how does it compare to the mac mini?

[ThoughtsMedia]

No idea - I've never reviewed or owned a Mac Mini. :-) The new Mac Mini has a better GPU, that's for sure...

how long does it take to boot to windows?

@fanexpert the same concecpt as the mac cube

[ThoughtsMedia]

The cooling fan? I have no idea - you'd have to crack open the case and get at the inside of the fan. It's a very quiet fan though, so I don't know why you'd want to replace it...but you're the "fanexpert", not me. :-)

No, the power supply is external. Check out my unboxing video.

You're right, there doesn't seem to be an option for integrated Bluetooth. But you can get a tiny USB Bluetooth dongle for cheap, so it doesn't matter much other than you lose a USB port.

Hi Jason, great review but I have a couple of questions please, its not bluetooth integratedm right? so can use an external bluetooth usb to hook up my Logitech Dinovo keyboard and mouse? and is it fast enough for typical surfing?

Note: I only had time to watch 2 of your 3 video review.
