Comment made about the PC Authority article:
Dell Studio Hybrid: can the desktop PC ever be sexy??
Will PC users pay for style, or is the appeal of fashionable computer design purely a Mac-only thing? Dell is hoping the Mac-approach can win over the PC crowd with this stylish mini desktop.
What do you think? Join the discussion. |

I have been waiting for something like this for 10 - 12 years - since the first really cool macs came out. I can't believe it has taken so long. The great thing about it is that I will now be able to get a pc based media centre in the lounge room...as there is finally a pc that is pleasing to the wifes eye... at @#$%ing last! |

I just went to the dell site to have a look at the specs of this wee beastie and was struck again by how beautiful it is, but as it is supposed to be thier greenist pc yet, why is it that i can not order one without a monitor or keyboard or mouse.
I have all of these peripherals already and are happy with them. It strikes me as very environmental to be forcing me to buy resources I don't need, especially when advertising your environmental credentials - bad dell, bad! |

I personally find that look not cool at all. It looks like some kind of demented water bottle gone wrong. I don't get it at all, why are people going ape to convert their media pc's into 'sylish' looking things, but are still happy to have have black/silver DVD players/recorders and GIANT black/silver TV's attached to them?
Seriously, next to any kind of 'stylish' plasma (i.e. black/silver) that thing would look hideious. |

Can't say I have, although I've lived with my ex-girlfriend for some 4 and a half years. But what does my marital status have to do with anything?
Point still stands. Most TV's, DVD players, VHS etc are black and/or silver. Few, if any, are shaped anything other than a square and even fewer are given funky colours. So why must computers be different?
And what is wrong with a black/silver case? I have a Coolermaster Cosmos in my office at the moment, it stills really nicely with my plain desk, shintaro laser mouse, reclusa keyboard and NEC 20WGX...all of which are either black and/or silver.
A red computer would look stupid here.

I'm so over gloss black tech gear. Piano black will be the new beige in 2 years, just as piano white is now. |

Somehow, I just don't think the PC industry can ever compete successfully with Apple on the style front. They won this long ago, gaining a massive "first mover advantage." |

My personal opinion is that it would take someone who can put the words cool and mac next to to each other in a sentence( an obvious oxymoron to mainstream computer enthusiast) to find beauty in this toy.
Having said that my oldest son tells me he reckons it looks good.
ya try to bring them up right...](*,) |

Yeah see, that's a good point. If they could make a 'stylish' computer for the same price as the regular one and not like 10 times as much, then it might have a chance. As long as you have to pay extra for looks, it's going to struggle... :-P |
