I wouldn't say that Voodoo PC has been hibernating. But ever since this former boutique company, known for its gaming rigs and luxurious laptops, was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in late 2006, it hasn't launched much of anything (apart from the Blackbird 002 desktop) worth writing home about—until now. Maybe it was just waiting for a worthy opponent. With its sights squarely set on the Apple MacBook Air and the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, the Voodoo Envy 133 ($2,449 direct) is easily the tiniest and prettiest laptop to ever emerge from HP's research and development labs. It's as thin and speedy as the Air, and it even improves on some of the Air's shortcomings, like having a user-upgradable battery and better connectivity ports. The Envy 133 isn't without its problems, though. Its price tag, among other things, makes the MacBook Air look like a bargain.
