Hardware Review: Voodoo Envy Gaming Laptop In case you have been looking for a notbook to be used for gaming only, the Voodoo Envy H:171 is most likely one of the best options you can encounter in the market. Besides being optimized to offer a superior gaming performance, the Voodoo notebook can also be used as a digital media center so you can create/edit/view movies. As they say it, this is a complete desktop replacement laptop. The Envy H:171 features a 17-inch screen, which I think it is a bit small, if it was bigger it would really deliver a cool gaming experience. The processor is an Core 2 Extreme X6800, and the RAM memory can go up to 4GB. The graphics card is powered by a dual Nvidia GeForce 7950 with 512MB of memory, there is still a big hard-drive with 750GB of space, a DVD burner, WiFi, bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and an optional multimonitor output which provides a 1920x1200 resolution. The Voodoo Envy H:171 is a bit heavy at 11.9Lbs, and for all the good features the price goes up - it starts at $5,000 and the best version costs $8,117.
