Latest VoodooPC Hardware – Envy H:201

2 08 2007

Well, it’s time to round out my series on the current offerings of VoodooPC with an overview of the Envy H:201.

201 In my simpleton logic, this machine has the highest number, so must be the best, or at least the most powerful.

Weighing in at 16 pounds (7.25kg) and between US$5400 and US$7600, it would certainly seem that way.

This machine is optimised for gaming and as a media centre.  The drawbacks of this machine, namely battery life and weight are proclaimed loudly, almost as a shield of honour.

It also proclaims to be the first dual SLI notebook.  There’s a good reason for that, dual SLI notebooks don’t make sense!

But then ‘making sense’ probably isn’t the drawcard of buying this machine.  You will most likely never meet someone with a notebook more powerful than yours, and when you say “it has dual SLI graphics” they’ll probably make the desired “oooh” noise that you shelled out $US7000 for.

It features a 20″ widescreen lcd, various options for the processor and a range of options for graphics (not including a Directx 10 option).

I imagine the boys and girls at VoodooPC are frantically testing the mobile Directx 10 cards that they have recently received.  When they are in a position to include these as an option, this will probably be the machine they’re added to, as it is indeed the only machine in the laptop range which actually allows you to choose your graphics card and the only one that has no requirements for battery life or weight.
