It looks like we finally know what was up Voodoo’s website which went up in smoke a few days ago. HP’s gaming brand released two new products, the Envy ultraportable and Omen PC. In my opinion, both take a significant step forward in terms of style and functionality, but the specs aren’t quite up to par with what can be had for less (which, granted, has always been the case with Voodoo to an extent).
The products are the first ones the company has built from the ground up. The Envy 133 features a 13.3" LED screen, carbon fiber exterior, built in Ethernet port in the power brick , and Splashtop’s instant on operating system among other features. The Omen is a spiritual successor to HP’s Blackbird that takes measures with the chassis to further improve airflow and allow ease of use. Things look promising (and very, very sexy), now bring on the benchmarks!
