MANILA, Philippines?Today?s gadgets should not only be multifunctional, they should reflect the personality of their user. While topnotch features are still a priority in choosing gadgets, how stylish they look are also a consideration.

Last Sept. 17, Dell launched its latest offering for the computing world ? the new Studio Hybrid, Studio Laptops, and the very portable Inspiron Mini 9. The event was held at the Ayala Park Tent in Makati, and was hosted by Iya Yotoko of Digital Tour.

Colors are definitely in, as the Studio Laptops are offered in six colors ? Plum Purple, Tangerine Orange, Flamingo Pink, Midnight Blue, Ruby Red, Spring Green and Jet Black.
