Remember these laptops?

[DannJonnes]

Does anyone remember, way back in the year 2006 when Voodoo PC released the Envy 13?

Sure, they were way overpriced, but, so sexy looking. You would think 5 years later some hardware manufacture would be able to build a decent looking PC laptop. The Samsung 7 and 9 series has some sex appeal to it but besides that I can't think of anything that looks like the Envy Voodoo made.

HP really screwed that company up.

Besides Mac Books, although nice looking, I am looking for a laptop similar to that of the Voodoo Envy 13. Can anyone think of anything that might be similar? I look forward to any and all responses as I have found these forums to be very helpful.

Thanks.

Macbook Pro? 😉 :awe:

The Thinkpad X1 is pricey, but looks quite similar IMHO.

I am not a Mac person, but I have been soooo tempted to break down and buy a Mac Book Pro purely based upon its look. But, I have some ethical dilemma paying a huge mark up. That thinkpad is, meh. It wants to be sexy but the designers still don't seem to have any style. Of course, that is my opinion. =)

I really like my sager. But it is more of a portable workstation/gamer.

Looking at system specs for the Envy:

Did we have SSDs back then?
