Voodoo Envy 133 photographed gloriously in the wild

No frontin' here: this is the most excited we've been about in the wild shots in quite some time. Not only do we have a veritable plethora of Envy 133 shots to glance at, but each one is high resolution and sharp as a tack. If you think your heart can handle checking out this slab of sexy from all angles, head on down to the links below and give it a go. From here, the only thing we're down on is that mirror they call a glossy display; otherwise, this thing looks downright heavenly.

Any color you want? Id like one in electric blue outside with flat black inside please.

Yes it's pretty but...

Max display 1280x800
Max processor 1.8GHz, 4MB cache
Max hard drive 80G 4200RPM --wtf?!?!
Max RAM 2GB
Battery 3 cell
One USB port/one eSata-USB combo (are you freaking kidding?)

So, all in all, another useless PC Laptop.

Why can't somebody make a decent freaking PC notebook (says the guy running Win XP on a MacBookPro)?!

Voodoo Envy Halloween edition.

I think the width is unbelievable .. at .7 inches EVERYWHERE (the airbook is .16-.76) and with ports ... pretty sweet. Weight's pretty svelte and I really like the ambient light sensors, the proximity sensors for the keyboard and touchpad cuz I like eyecandy. I think the router/powerbrick is pretty innovative. I also think the IOS is a great touch. I can see using that a lot. The fit and finish looks excellent. Shoot ... I want one now.

Sexier than any Macbook (or pro) I've seen. Oh, and look, you actually get to choose differant colors besides white, black, and aluminum.... it's almost like it's made to fit your personality instead of a company's.

Finally, a beautiful laptop that's NOT a Mac. (I own and use both a XP laptop and a MBP, on a daily basis, so stfu mac/non-mac fanboys).

[Frastoglegnia Posted Jun 27th 2008 7:52PM]

Though I own a MacBook Pro, I'd much prefer to have one of these (specifically in orange and black). The Envy 133 is lighter than my 15" MBP and would create less strain on the shoulder, which means it is not only prettier but preferable for travel.

The price is worse than a MBP's, though, which makes me wonder aloud: how much installation can be done by the user? The MacBook Air is offensively restrictive and an oxymoron (a sealed non-customizable laptop!), but the 133 claims not to be. How easy is it to swap out the battery, increase the RAM and update the graphics card? Premium prices for consumer components seem unnecessary and unfair; we ought to be able to avoid them.

Pity we're in a recession and fearing for our jobs. I'd buy this instantly if I weren't concerned about my financial longevity.

(Edit: Never mind the battery-swapping comment. I must have been extremely tired when I wrote that.)

Edit: Never mind battery-swapping question: Everyone knows about the battery and I/O-rich brick. I must have been very tired when I wrote that first post.

As a first product resulting from the HP/Voodoo merger, this baby is VERY impressive.

I absolutely love the power brick/router idea.

But I will wait for a 14 or 15 inch model with a DVD burner, DVI out, 54 Express Card, Biometric Finger reader.

And hopefully a NON MIRROR SCREEN.

LOVE MY IPOD!

[mastassmasta Posted Jun 28th 2008 5:33AM]

damn why did I buy the lenovo u110 so soon?!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 28th 2008 10:51AM]

I actually liked the orange colour, it gives it a bit of style. But I'm sketchy about their marketing name - "voodoo" and "envy"...

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 28th 2008 11:11AM]

The thing is a little too glossy for my tastes but good effort.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 28th 2008 9:28PM]

wow... i like how they jock the macbook pro keyboard..... mac 4ever!

This will be great for the CSI lab. It will catalog entire cities fingerprint databases before you even boot up.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 28th 2008 11:31PM]

Purrrrrrrrrrdy....

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2008 7:53PM]

Looks a little too much like a blackbook pro if you ask me

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 30th 2008 9:21PM]

Haha. It's really kind of funny that all that mac users have to reassure themselves that macs are still more stunning. Personally I think this little guy has more style than any mac on the market, but that maybe becasue it comes in more than 3 colors. This isn't as large as a MBP so whats the comparison, of course a MBP would pummel it and its also a MBP is almost 2X it's size. Wouldn't mind getting one!

[Frastoglegnia Posted Jul 2nd 2008 2:06AM]

Generalize much? Many of the above comments (including my double-shift-groggy double post) are from Mac users who prefer the features and look of the Envy. What I don't get is why people compare the Envy to the MacBook Pro when it's clearly a much-improved take on the MacBook Air, which was in turn a fresh take on a certain Windows-specific prototype.

Honest answer: I'll probably buy the 133 in a year or two, when the price is sane and the tech is out of date.
