The folks at GearLive have published some hands-on pictures of the Voodoo Envy 133 notebook. This is one sweet Windows system - a thinner notebook than the Apple MacBook Air mind you. In case you forgot the specs, they are as follows:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.8GHz (or 1.6GHz)
  • Intel GMA X3100 graphics
  • 64GB SSD or 80GB HDD
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • 2GB RAM
  • 13.3 inch WXGA HD widescreen display
  • Measures 12.65 x 9.04 x 0.70 inches (yes that’s thinner)
  • Weighs 3.373 lbs
  • Touchpad with multi-finger tracking
  • LED backlit keyboard
  • Slot loaded eSATA SuperMulti Drive
  • 34mm ExpressCard
  • HDMI output
  • Dolby Sound Room audio
  • Carbon fiber casing

If I only had money to spend.. I’d totally consider getting this system .. although I’m pretty darn happy with my new Sony VAIO notebook also.. (although it’s twice the weight, twice the thickness.. blah blah blah)
