Hey guys..how can u expect an optical drive when hp is offering a core i7 quad core in 5.2 pounds & that too with a thickness of 1.04 inch…..Even doing this is like pushing technology to its limits..in fact lack of an internal optical drive is advantageous 2 consumers(hp is providing an external dvd rw combo)…& we can replace this one when the price of blu-ray reader/writer goes cheap ;) ….

Good catches, Nate. The article has been corrected.

This review is extremely inaccurate…. a couple points:

1) the HP Envy 15 does not have a built-in optical drive of any kind

2) the HP Envy 15 does not have dual HD bays. There are config options to add two disks, but that appears to just stack two thin drives in place of one physically larger one.

I liked the Voodoo 133 soooo much better than this. HP has destroyed the Voodoo brand. Is there still a way that I can buy the 133?

Yeah, why aren’t some of these teir 1 manufacturers doing this yet Blu-ray has been around a while, there is no reason not include one.

I wish the Envy 15 were able to pack a built-in Blu-ray drive, but it’s unfortunately not true.

I agree Freak, it is a shame that they lost the Voodoo PC awesome factor. VoodooPC may be back soon though, I’ve heard some rumors, keep your eyes and ears open.

HP seems to have all but destroyed VoodooPC. These are among the most boring laptops I have seen. It’s a shame. Actually they look like Sony VAIO systems with their rounded corners.
