The name VooDoo Omen scares me almost as much as Vista does.
Looks more like a bible
Time to update your info, Vista equals and at times beats XP in gaming tests.

No no no! It's about the sexiest thing ever. Literally. I jizzed when I saw this. Brb, need to get new boxers.
Damn that thing looks hot.If I was a pc,I'd love to stick my usb drive in her ports,that is for sure.
Wow, a glossy surface that I can get my handprint on instead of just my fingers! Great!
*Throws out Macbook Pro*
SHINYERRR!!
Benchmarks don't make Vista a good product.
XP FTW
It's still running Windoze...
Next.
Another fanboy. Next.
I'm sure it could run XP SP2 and that's one hell of a stable OS.
but anyways OSX FTW. I'm not a fanboy but reality is OSX FTW.
OSX wouldn't know what to do with all those hardware inside this computer, so I guess OSX would make this computer a brain dead computer...a lot worst than windoze.
I'll give respect to OSX, once it can works on thousands of different hardware configuration. Man, Apple still manage to create bugs with hardware they put together.
Yeah it might be running "Windoze" but that doesn't change the fact that the computer looks pretty awesome.
It may be just a bit too glossy for my taste but it beats the plastic look of the X300.
OSX could run on "thousands of different hardware configuration" but you need to be an osx nerd like me to make it happen. :D
Roach
:D Well put
@roach I predict you will eat your words once somebody gets OS X x86 running on that thing. Which will happen shortly, I am sure.
Apple spends a lot of time making sure OS X _doesn't_ run on other hardware, so considering that it seems pretty flexible ;)
As Nikster said, this thing will probably be running OSX without problems. Specifically if the same CPU is used in it from the Air. Honestly if this thing ran OSX, why would anyone really desire the Air more?
Its soooo shy kneee!!!!
less glossy and its the best notebook ever made!

I may be known for my pro apple views but let it be known:
That is one sexy laptop.
And the desktop one looks good as well.
I'm liking where this is headed... more competition? Gimme gimme.
Sexy. Fingerprints galore, but still, sexy.
Those were the weakest press shots ever? Why all the shots of the back of the laptop or half open?(...and whats with the chubby guy?)
Is it me or does this look very similar to the titanium powerbook powerbook?
A laptop that looks similar to another laptop...
...Impossible
I think it's another iPhone rip-off!!!
Oh wait...
Where's Rauul?
On the omen you can see on the back the slot through which all the cables will come out.
(the graphics cards' exhaust faces up), so do all the ports on the motherboard.)
Could you play Black & White (either 1 or 2) on this?
That wasn't meant to be a bad joke, I really don't know if the intel graphics can run it.
BADASS!
the Envy is the hottest laptop ever. i was planning on either getting an ultraportable or a thinkpad with my moms ibm discount, but this Envy and its features are just unbelievable.
i'm not even a pc gamer, i just want it because its so sleek, sexy, and feature filled.
the ethernet port on the power supply makes so much sense too. heck, even the bottom of the laptop looks sleek and isnt covered in vents, etc.
Well it maybe sexy and all but until I can get one without a 2 year ATnT contract I'll be taking my busin....
wait....
That isn't an iPhone?
Sorry...I just assumed.
That laptop is dead sexy. :)
wow that gloss is gorgeous...
id be scared to touch it though.
the aluminum omen is looking kinda mac-ish,
i must say.
still great though,
i hope more companies turn to aluminum.
Mmm... sexy.
So is this the new thinnest laptop?
Well the Macbook Air have thinner CakeCutting™ edges but yes, this is 0.06-inches (1.5mm) thinner...
I hope this going to be sold in the UK. Would definitely consider it.
Definitely. I wonder if HP/Voodoo will let you upgrade if they end up adding better intergrated graphics.
SEXY!!
Fucking gorgeous.
I would slaughter a whole Pict village for this thing!
Good luck trying to keep that glossy palm rest clean. Besides that, it's a nice laptop.
A design like this is something that is sorely needed in the PC market, something Apple has be doing for years, a simple, clean and elegant design. Ditch all the flashing lights, all the useless media buttons, all the vendor stickers and all the ports no one uses most of the time anyway.
it's good they started notice and work on the "design" department...
but good design on the outside will also need an impressive interface to become a great product... I think Windows gotta work on that part(cant blame HP on that :P)
anyway, competition is always good for us!
OSX wouldn't know what to do with all those hardware inside this computer, so I guess OSX would make this computer a brain dead computer...a lot worst than windoze.
I'll give respect to OSX, once it can works on thousands of different hardware configuration. Man, Apple still manage to create bugs with hardware they put together.
this comments is towards Reality Check
Errr, the Envy I think would run OS X... not too sure about the Omen.
So a laptop will run OS X better than a fully kitted out tower?
hey the first attack comment.
osx is DESIGNED to run on mac products.
its not "osx can't run on this hardware",
apple made it that way so you have to buy their product.
Right, just like OS X wouldn't know what do to with an 8-core Xeon or 32 GB of RAM. Oh wait... yes it would. It would also know what to do with 1100 G5s clustered together to form the world's 3rd fastest supercomputer when it was built. It's at Virginia Tech, look it up. And yes, it does run out of the box OS X.
But yeah, I'm sure OS X wouldn't know what to do with a single laptop. Try not to be a complete moron.
Zak, it is you who is a moron here. * cores and XXX RAM? It's easy. Every OS can do this. Try 100 different peripheral devices (like in drivers for diferent graphic cards etc.)
Too bad Apple spends more money on brain washing "Zaks" than on software development.
