The image is mis-leading, you will need wires for mic & speakers. But for $499 it is good & is nice competition for the Mac Mini.

 

[koolbluez]

ok....... but i prefer performance over price
The CPU(!) is kool, though

 

[desiibond]

There will be only two wires.

1) monitor cable
2) power cable for PCU

wireless k/b and mouse
wifi.

ok....... but i prefer performance over price
The CPU(!) is kool, though

It has a Bluray drive and 20" monitor. Pefect for it's task as HTPC.

PS: This is not a gaming desktop. it's targeted for HTPC. and yeah, it rocks.

Abey toh gana ka kya main gaunga.

 

[desiibond]

oh forgot, one more cable for audio

Abey toh gana ka kya main gaunga.

LOL. sorry. my mistake.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Just sell me the CPU Cabinet (or is it box ?) and I will be done.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

images are sexy .....

I studied it today, it is overpriced for hardware config but looks wise I M sold over it. I configured one with 20" Monitor for Rs 46k which I m thinking to buy for my home in lucknow as it is simple to use for family.

U can also buy just the CPU for 40K.

although it would have been better if Dell gives AMD Phenom with AMD 780G chipset. That would have been best

+1.

Like all mid to high end desktops, this too is overpriced compared to what you can build yourself.

But even if it was not overpriced, the fact that it has Intel chipset means it would mostly come with a non OC motherboard and an old chipset like 965GM.

So AMD Phenom with AMD 780G would be awssome.

Just like any pre-assembled product in the world is compared to what you can assemble yourself. A meal in a restaurant will always be more expensive compared to what you cook yourself. Fixing a broken bicycle yourself will be cheaper than getting it fixed from a technician.

So what exactly is new here?

^^ You can buy a bicycle for your kid with the money saved by not eating at restaurants.

You don't need a technician to repair a bicycle. You need mechanic

How many times in your life have you skipped a restaurant meal to save for something you want to buy for yourself? Even the thought of doing so has never entered my mind.

Please don’t try to justify ridiculous statements with even more twisted reasoning.

Yes, you’re right. For some reason, the word just wouldn’t occur to me when I was typing that.

 

[desiibond]

^^ Just kidding

Please don’t try to justify ridiculous statements with even more twisted reasoning.

But here comes that big mouth. LOL

 

[goobimama]

Must say they look really nice. And if they are silent, that would make for a perfect HTPC. Although I hope they look as good in real life as they do in the pics.

 

[RCuber]

Poor graphics.. else everything is good.

The Hybrid was able to load both Crysis and World in Conflict, our current 3D games, but at 1 frame per second or less, both games were totally unplayable. At that point, you're not even watching a slideshow; you'd get more enjoyment by standing on your head and whistling REM's Orange Crush. The takeaway: The Hybrid's integrated graphics are fine for Vista's Aero effects, but don't try to play 3D games on it.

Soruce

What kinda stupid would try to run Crysis on on-board graphics?

And if they are silent…

They’re not. Look at the huge fan(s) on the back.

The design looks great though.

If anyone hasn't Noticed i think Dell has made this thing up from laptop components . that's why it's so small and runs at very less power(possibly from a laptop charger).

That way the price seems pretty justified to me .

Plus i agree with aryayush on this point . Why compare everything on the market with what you can build . You want looks and a small , quiet pc get this . you want performance , go build your own .
