HP announced a new portfolio of Voodoo-branded computing devices targeted at the growing segment of consumers who demand products that combine luxurious quality, personalised styling and unmatched technology innovation.

The first two in the portfolio are the powerful Voodoo Omen desktop and the ultra-mobile Voodoo Envy 133 notebook which were unveiled at the HP Connecting Your World event.

For gamers and performance users, HP continues to support and develop the HP Blackbird 002 and a family of “HP with Voodoo DNA” products.

Supporting up to four graphics processing units and sporting advanced thermal engineering, the modern-styled Voodoo Omen blends art and technology inside and out. Customers can add the finishing touches to their Voodoo Omen via an extensive palette of Voodoo Allure paint colour choices.

Measuring just over half an inch thin and weighing less than 3.4 pounds, the Voodoo Envy 133 is a showcase of ultra-mobility and thermal engineering in a tiny, sophisticated chassis. Its Voodoo IOS (Instant-On Solution) makes it one of the fastest-loading systems ever launched by HP, giving mobile users near-instant access to the internet and Skype.

The Voodoo Envy 133 was developed using the smallest available Intel Centrino technology. Despite its small size and elegant design, the notebook offers a wide range of functionality typically associated with larger notebooks, and includes Ethernet and wireless connectivity, a wide selection of ports, a replaceable battery and more.

To appeal to everyone’s unique tastes, customers can personalise their Voodoo Envy with Voodoo Allure paint colours.
