Voodoo PC's Super-Thin Envy Laptop Could Be a MacBook Air Killer

by Thomas Ricker on June 10, 2008 at 08:39 AM



Oh my. First you're slicing cake with the MacBook Air, then you're looking to steal its market share. Lenovo, you can't afford to be too smug either. Voodoo's $2,099, carbon fiber Envy 133 -- out July 20 -- 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. Size-wise, it's a rival to Apple's super-thin MacBook Air, but like the similarly slim Lenovo X300, the Envy has solid graphics power, HDMI out (for HD video connection to a TV, and two USB ports. Starting at $2,099, though, it's a bit more pricey than the $1,800 MacBook Air.

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 Wi-Fi access point? Check the preview just beyond the read link, or full video explanation after the break.
