Voodoo Envy 133 Review

When Voodoo Evny 133 teamed up with HP they set out to make one of the sleekest and most innovative ultra portable notebooks out on the market and that is exactly what they have created. The Voodoo Envy may be more expensive(starting price $2,099) than its only counterpart the Mac Book Air, but what you receive in return is more ports, an amazing instant-on-mode, a replaceable battery and don’t forget the Voodoo allows you to customize the laptop to your heart’s content.
The Voodoo Envy 133 is a soon to be released ultra-slim laptop from HP that competes directly with the Apple Macbook Air. The Envy is a 0.7″ thick and weighs 3.43 lbs and, thus, is technically thinner than the Air; The Macbook Air has a tapered design with its thickness varying from 0.16″ to 0.76″, where the Envy uses all right-angles giving it a constant thickness. The Envy is built on a Centrino CPU with your choice of Intel Core 2 Duo SP7700 (1.8GHz) or SP7500 (1.6 GHz) with 4 MB L2 Cache, and 800 MHz FSB.
Voodoo’s $2,099, carbon fiber Envy 133 isn’t a gaming rig. It is, however, a 13.3-inch ultra-portable with LED-backlit display, 1,280 x 800 resolution, Intel GMA X3100 graphics, 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SP7700 processor, HDMI, 2x USB (1 doubles as eSATA) and hard disk or SSD option. It also features an instant-on Voodoo IOS mode that lets you surf the web, chat, look at photos, and make Skype calls without booting into Windows. Impressed yet? Well what if we told you that the power brick (and it’s definitely a brick!) doubles as a WiFi access point?
The Voodoo Evny 133 is the latest addition to the exclusive “laptops that fit into a manila envelope” club. Seen for the first time, it draws the same oohs and aahs as the MacBook Air. The Envy 133’s dimensions (9 by 12.7 by 0.7 inches, HWD) are thinner than those of the Air (8.9 by 12.8 by 0.7 inches, HWD) at its thickest part. Of course, the Air has a tapering design that becomes even thinner as you move toward the bezel, so neither one can proclaim itself the thinnest here.
Highlights Of HP Voodoo Envy 133:
13.3-inch LED WXGA (1,280 x 800) screen
Integrated wireless 802.11 ABGN + Bluetooth
Voodoo Aura PowerConnect – establishes a one-to-one wireless connection between the Envy 133 notebook and an Ethernet connector located on the power supply, allowing users to roam free from the wired connection.
Voodoo IOS - Boot up in seconds. Unique to the Voodoo Envy 133, this feature gives road warriors instant access to Skype and Internet browser.
The Voodoo Evny 133 to reach the market is about to enter the month with LED-type display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor at 1.8 GHz and integrated graphics. The battery, four hours, and the HDMI connection are two of its strengths. From USB ports will not be left with only two, one of them as reusable port Esat.
