Emailing "Dell Studio Hybrid Specs"
Now that Dell's online store is carrying them, we can delve into the specs.
Video and audio are integrated, not terribly surprising. The power supply is 87 percent efficient, well above the green 80-plus benchmark. One startling revelation is that the bamboo sleeve option inflates the price by $130! The wireless keyboard and mouse option adds just $50 to the price, however.
Needless to say, a top-of-the-line model easily crosses the $1,000 mark. Dell's shipping estimate is August 12 (as of this writing). Min/max specs below.
