Welcome back to those who read my first blog and hello to those newbies out there. Today’s topic will be about Hewlett Packard’s, otherwise known as HP, sad attempt to catch up with Apple. HP has come out with their own version of the MacBook Air, called Voodoo Envy 133. Also they have developed a new desktop called the Voodoo Omen.
This new series of computers originate from a company that HP absorbed a few years ago called Voodoo PC. Voodoo PC use to be a company based out of Canada that specialized in high performance computing. HP used Voodoo PC to help them create a new computer called Blackbird 002 a year ago. Then with the help of Voodoo PC, HP decided it was time to put its foot in the door and play with the big dogs.
At the beginning of the summer HP announced that it had created a new MacBook Air but with an HP twist to it. This new laptop was called Voodoo Envy 133. Envy is just over half an inch high and weighs less than 3.4 pounds. It has a Voodoo IOS, Instant-On Solution, with makes it one of the fastest loading systems that HP has ever tried. The IOS allows users to almost instantaneously access the internet and Skype, which is software that allows you to make phone calls over the internet. Envy was developed using the smallest Intel Centrino technology, which are some of the best CPU chips in the world. HP says it might look small and insignificant but it still has all the typical functions associated with larger notebooks. Envy has Ethernet and wireless compatibilities; it also includes a wide selection of ports; and it even has a replaceable battery.
HP guarantees that the Envy may look cute and cuddly, but it can work just as hard as any normal desktop. You may think that the Envy would have to lose key features to come up with the final product but it does not. It actually has a very high performance record and it is a low-energy consumer. Envy comes with your favorite assortment of colors, a backlit keyboard, and a full thirteen inch LED monitor.
Now for the Voodoo Omen, it supports up to four graphics processing units. The motherboard has an integrated copper liquid cooling system, so you definitely will not have to worry about your computer overheating. The cooling system even has its own LCD auxiliary screen which allows you to the temperature of your computer and change it if need be. The Omen’s cooling system is all advanced thermal engineering with liquid cooling that runs quietly and it can perform at high processing levels.
The Voodoo Omen and Voodoo Envy 133 sound like some amazing computers. I cannot wait for the chance to try one for myself. HP is a great company and I wish them the best as they face the competition from Apple.

I really liked your blog. Since the MacBook Air has been out in the market, I’ve wanted to get one. But they are a little more than what I could afford… (after checking the website for the Voodoo Envy 133, it seems like that the HP version is not any better with the price) Anyways, when I read, “Today’s topic will be about Hewlett Packard’s, otherwise known as HP, sad attempt to catch up with Apple,” I thought that you were going to talk about how the HP version really sucks… but after reading the blog it didn’t seem that way, not to me at least… Nonetheless, you gave out some really good information about the Voodoo Envy 133 and the Voodoo Omen. Especially in the paragraph where you talked about how the Voodoo Omen supports up to four graphics processing units, how it uses the copper liquid cooling system, and how the user can control the temperature by using the LCD screen… I can’t wait for the chance to try one of these either…
