Days after Intel announced that its Extreme line of processors would be coming to notebooks, VoodooPC appears to be the first to roll out a new laptop with one of Intel’s high-end processors under the hood. The Envy H:171 packs Intel’s Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor along with a 17-inch screen and scores of other performance features aimed at satisfying gamers.
Hewlett-Packard announced yesterday that it plans to acquire boutique computer maker VoodooPC; financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. VoodooPC is well-regarded for its high-performance and spendy desktop and notebook systems catering to the gamer, multimedia, and PC enthusiast crowds, often featuring stylish and outlandish design elements.
The move is another demonstration of the strength of the high-end gaming market, as major manufacturers look to cash in on hardcore gamers and others willing to shell out for top-notch, high performance systems offering the latest and greatest in entertainment value. Earlier this year, Dell purchased Alienware, a major VoodooPC rival, for an undisclosed amount.
Specialized computer manufacturer VoodooPC today announced their entry into the recently unveiled Nvidia Quad SLI world of high performance computers. The new Voodoo Omen Quad SLI Personal Computer is priced at around $7,000 and available now.
The Voodoo Omen Quad SLI Personal Computer, said VoodooPC, features four Nvidia GeForce 7900 Series GPUs, a dual-core AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 processor and the computer maker’s liquid cooling system with silent radial fans. This combination of cutting-edge technologies produces a computer which VoodooPC claims is one of the fastest gaming focused rigs out there.
VoodooPC has launched their own version of the mini PC. While its form factor looks similar to the Apple Mac mini, it is unmistakably a VoodooPC with its blood red paid and Voodoo graphics. Priced from $899, the VoodooPC IDOL features an Intel Pentium M notebook processor (to keep the system silent), a 7200 RPM Hitachi Hard drive, an Ethernet connection (what computer doesn’t have one?), DVI connection and a slot-loading DVD player.
