I was considering it for a time, but the placement of the power key really does bother me. It's placed WITHIN the keyboard, directly above the backspace key.

Now, though I would assume they've planned for scenarios where this could cause problems, if not it may be quite a turn off (Pun!) to some.]]>Jul 17th 2008 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/To turn the system off with the power button you must hold the laptop for a few seconds.

I agree. I don't want to get into a PC vs. Mac debate, but I depend on a Mac and therefore a Windows laptop is not an option for me. However, I do have to say that from a purely cosmetic perspective, HP have absolutely nailed this one. I'd be happy if Apple released something that looks as good as that, and that's high praise to HP. The design team responsible should take a bow. I sincerely hope that the rest of the user experience lives up to the expectations that thing will give when it comes out of the box.

Honestly, it's living up to its name.]]>Jul 18th 2008 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/Jul 17th 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/voodoos-envy-133-gets-handled-by-maximum-pc/
Just keep it simple! It is cheaper to build and more appealing to buyers.

It doesn't work like that.
