[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 523518, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/computing/computer-hardware/images/voodoo%20laptops-200-200.jpg[/IMG]Hewlett-Packard’s gaming PC brand ‘Voodoo’ has unveiled notone, but two, ultra high-end PCs this week, a MacBook Air ‘killer’ (the Envy)and a brushed aluminium desktop (the Omen) – both clearly designed to competewith Apple in the ‘designer computer’ market. Voodoo’s Omen desktop PC, features a 7-inch built-in secondary display. Although,be warned, it also comes with a rather unpalatable starting price tag of $7000and will only be made available to previous customers by invitation only. If you are a keen PC gamer with money to burn, then youmight want to join Voodoo’s exclusive ‘Omen’ club purely to enjoy how cold yourair-brushed aluminium PC is because it rocks "one of the most advancedliquid cooling systems on the planet." [B]Voodoo Envy[/B] Of more interest to normal people is the MacBook Aircompetitor, the carbon fiber Voodoo ‘Envy’ which, although costly, is a tadmore affordable than its new desktop older brother, costing $2099 (around£1050) The Envy breaks with Voodoo tradition, in that it is notbeing marketed as a gaming PC, but instead is a rather tasty 13.3-inchultra-portable featuring – breathe in - an LED-backlit display, 1,280 x 800resolution, Intel GMA X3100 graphics, 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SP7700 processor,HDMI, 2x USB (1 of which doubles as eSATA) and` hard disk or SSD option.

The powersupply also doubles up as a Wi-Fi access point. It’s ticking all the boxes here, although as we all knowfrom bitter experience an impressive features list does not always a decentcomputer make! TechRadar should be bringing you a full hands on with the VoodooEnvy as soon as we can get our mitts on a test kit.
