Today in Berlin, HP announced the Voodoo Envy 133 notebook, which was hinted at in the video teaser I posted last week. Voodoo is looking to take on the MacBook Air, and the Envy is ready for battle. The Envy 133 has an LED 13.3" backlit screen, carbon fiber body (super light), multi-touch trackpad (I just tried it and it stinks. I'll get a full demo later, but there's a short video afterwards It pinches, power but not the rotation.), Ethernet port built into the power brick, removable battery, HDMI port, two USB ports, and an ExpressCard slot. However, the Envy's starting price of $2,099 is less than desirable. Another A unique and cool feature for the Envy is Voodoo InstantOn, which allows the user to boot to a Linux screen in seconds while Vista boots in the background. Watch the video.

The Omen starts at $7,000 and features a 7-inch auxiliary LCD on the front of the case and copper tubing for liquid cooling. You can also add a touch of your own flair by choosing from Voodoo's Allure paint colors, ink designs and select Iconograph patterns. It's also worth noting that the Omen will only be available to current Voodoo customers until production is in full swing.
