    The desktop looks typical Voodoo. The laptop looks like typical HP from the outside with a Voodoo logo (which is really disappointing)... I guess we'll have to wait for June 10 to see the specs on these.

    yeah, I agree -- it's hard to say now, but from the very first shots the laptop looks disappointing. The carbon-fiber-ish pattern looks too busy (and the fact it's everywhere makes it look dull). Hopefully the actual machines'll look better.

    Wasnt that disappointing. Basically the case looks like a mac. Streamlined, and just plain silver. The laptop is just an hp with a voodoo sticker on it, I am very disappointed in Voodoo, they are really going downhill from HP, and its a real shame. We will see what happens, but I know one thing, I am never buying anything from them again.

    wow that was the worst teeser i have ever seen. all it showed were pointy angles. They could have been taking screenshots of a cubism painting for al i know. "look what HP and voodoo have been up to" I think the fact that HP is in that sentence just makes the whole lineup look even worse.

    OK fine, buy the voodoo company, but let them carry on their way, not go all crappy with this boring carbon finish and sharp right angles like Heathkid said that could be deadly.

    yeah, this is why I'm hoping for the sake of voodoo that it's just a really bad photoshop mockup...

    That'll be a very interesting move for Voodoo if it's a 13" gaming notebook. I'd love to see how an 8800M GTX would turn out in a 13" notebook ;). Remember what the CEO of Voodoo said when cut his birthday cake with a MacBook Air? "Ahh well, I wouldn't be needing this notebook for long anyways... :) Stay tuned for more..."

    can't wait to see this! Very excited. I'm sure it will be prohibitively expensive though!
