Voodoo Envy 133 reviewed- “The one I’d buy”

voodoo-envyToday’s buzz in the notebook world is all about the uber-thin Dell Adamo.  There is something about super-thin, ultra-light expensive notebooks that get our geek juices going.  One such notebook that has been out for a while is the Voodoo Envy 133.  This baby is comparable to the Adamo in overall dimensions and HP (owners of the Voodoo line now) have packed a lot of juice in that small form.  Dwight Silverman of The Houston Chronicle has gotten to play work with the Envy and has published a review of the notebook.

Dwight seems to be quite taken with this small form factor and how mobility is a big factor in these high-priced notebooks.  The price for the Envy is comparable to that of the Adamo, which is pretty darn high by today’s standards ($2,000-plus).

I don’t think Dwight has played with the Adamo from Dell yet but the two notebooks share so many similarities that it is natural to compare them.  The biggest difference I spot is the much faster processor in the Envy- 1.8 GHz vs 1.4 GHz (maximum) on the Adamo.  Check out Dwight’s review to get a feel for the Envy in action.  I find this statement by Dwight to be pretty telling:

If I were in the market for a traveling machine with few compromises and head-turning design, this is the one I’d buy.
