What is it:
Stylish small form factor PC

Typical price:
£925

We like:
Design; range of colours; Blu-ray option; HDMI output

We don't like:
Limited graphics

The judgement:
The Studio Hybrid is definitely worthy of consideration, particularly if you're looking for a tiny Media Center PC. It's more expensive than nettops like the Eee Box or Eee Top, and it's difficult to upgrade yourself, but the fact you can customise it to your specific needs makes it a worthwhile proposition
