Here we have super portable laptop with features that are new to the tech world. Introducing the Voodoo Envy 133! The 0.7 inch thick laptop which weighs about 3.4 pounds is a prominent threat to Mac Air. Voodoo is equipped with its IOS operating system that allows the laptop to surf the internet, use Yahoo, Google Talk, access the optical drive(yes, I said an optical drive), and even make skype calls without actually booting the system into windows or any other operating system. Integrated mobile broadband option is available with this nifty computer, an option that is absent in a lot of today’s new laptops. It is also equipped with a VGA webcam. A SSD battery is included along with what Voodoo call a powerbrick which renders the laptop to connect to an ethernet connection for a p2p wi-fi connection. Intel based and aspired on linux, this laptop is set to duel it out with Mac’s Air. Price of this baby ranges around $2100.
