Will OS X or OS X “Snow Leopard” run on the VooDoo ENVY (13 or 15″ models)? That would be interesting to know. I would think a laptop with an Intel i7 processor would really be something. Too bad Steve Jobs couldn’t think of that. Guess he has other things on this mind (like staying alive) to worry about what his loyal customers want or need.

War is everywhere, this is the fighting ground between 3 powerfull factions. The sophisticated apple fanboys, the elitist ubuntu fanboys and the snoob arroggant windows power user. Yeah u guys have the money to buy the beautiful or powerful machine, but look out there do you see have the people in whole world suffer from international economy crysis. Like the slipknot band says “….f**k u all…..f**k yourselves…..this is a war…..!” So why don’t u kill and hunt others in multiplatform multiplayer net game, say Urban Terror, and see who is the most powerful badass. I use O2 XDA Atom Life with Gnome theme, Macbook Air and an AMD 5000+ desktop both running PCLinuxOS Gnome 2009.1. If only i could buy some batterry anywhere near my, beside go to central city to buy one from so called apple franchise store. Yep Macbook Air beat up Voodoo Envy, but I choose Alienware Area 15 against the Macbook Air. Voodoo sucks, Alienware and Dell is cool. And NFP I don’t have to get out to find a girl, I have one in my house. She’s hotter than sunshine, more sexy than every Playboy playmates, she is …. my one and only wifes.

I have also got a VooDoo Envy 133. Support was fine for me and there is a ton of information on the website that HP provides. Especially if you just want to figure out the spec differences. There is now a $400 instant rebate that really makes a compelling story. I have found that running Win7 RC1 on this machine, which has no problems to report. I can have the machine booted in about the same time into windows as the IOS. Those that are fans of cool pcs… you really need to think about this one. Not the fastest machine, but the comments that I am getting already when I bring it into a meeting are great. Kinda like owning an exotic car… not all about the speed, some of it is the ability to own something unique.

The voodoo is a great machine. Although the machine is excellent, neither customer service nor tech support seem to know the differences between the 4 different models. After spending over 8 hours on the phone, 3 days of my vacation, and $4,400 I wound up with 2 machines w/o SSD. The people in customer service apologized profusely, but could not do anything to help. The people who could help, did not care to. (I was offered a $100 credit to keep 2 computers I did not want.) I went as far as to call the corporate office, twice. Although the machine is amazing, they do not back it up with great support. The Voodoo is a great product as long as nothing goes wrong with it.
Once I got all my money back, I used it to buy my MacBook Air. Great machine, great service.

I have one and it’s amazing! I like taking it on campus which is like a sea of macintosh computers. This thing really stands out and gets a lot of positive attention. That alone was worth the money!

hey, I think the voodoo is bad ass, it only has a few flaws, the brick is nice with all the features but macbook is smaller. Also visit instantly makes it not something I would buy, the fact is I would install xp as soon has I got it. It is really sleek and looks better and is slightly cheaper than the air, but the air is a very close second becuase of the lack of ports. So voodoo envy 133 is a great addition to the windows side but Vista takes to much power even on my 2.6 ghz pc and this only get at 3 grand 2.2 ghz.

Air killer? To honest i dont even see the league comparison. The Air was made just for the heck of it. But the envy 133 on the other hand…. It is leagues beyond any other laptop. Just the design alone signals way more simple sofistication and retro aesthetics than everything else designed. I am buying it. Thats a sure thing. never wanted a laptop more than this one. (though vista gotta go).

wow LOL… personally I use the macbook pro and run windows, linux and OSX. I love apple my mac, but without a doubt this is a macbook air killer. These apple fanboys need to chill, they make all the apple users look bad. the processor of envy and air is similar, memory is similar,but Macbook air has 5400rpm ipod hard drive and with the SSD option you’ll be paying $2600, so logically, envy beats air. Also carbon fiber envy looks better than aluminum air. aluminum on macbook pro looks nice, but air looks just weird. If I buy a portable laptop, I would definitely buy this. good job HP and voodoo.
