Dell’s New Studio Hybrid PCs

At long last, the new “green” PCs that have been under development at Dell have finally arrived. The Dell Studio Hybrid PC is 80% smaller than the conventional desktop mini-tower while also using 70% less power than typical desktop PCs. Their small form factor lets them fit almost anywhere and the optional wireless keyboard and mouse help kill the clutter. The PCs are Energy Star 4.0 compliant (of course!)and can be customized with 6 interchangeable color sleeves or even a sleeve made of environmentally- friendly bamboo. Despite their small size, the Studio Hybrid still finds room for a CD/DVD drive, analog and digital sound ports, a gigabit networking port, and HDMI and DVI ports. The PCs start at $499 and go up depending on your customizations like selecting a Blu-Ray drive, more memory, or a larger hard drive.

Once in a while an idea so brilliant and basic comes along, leaving us shocked that the problem went on for so long without a solution. GreenPrint is a delicious little application that eliminates the dreaded unwanted page from your print jobs by highlighting the pages with nothing but an errant URL or other nonessential text, allowing you to choose what stays and what goes. Once you’re comfortable with the app’s operation you can let it work its magic automatically, saving you both money and trees. Not only that, the GreenPrint team will plant trees for each low-cost copy of their magic. Also be sure to check out this hilarious viral advert from the GreenPrint blog.
