Gamer-friendly notebook maker VoodooPC has introduced an AMD Athlon 64-based machine to its line of Envy Pentium-based portables.
The Envy m:855 is built around a VIA K8T800 chipset. Its graphics sub-system is driven by an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 chip with 64MB of video RAM, hooked up to a 15in screen. Since all of VoodooPC's machines are built to order, the company didn't detail memory, hard drive and DVD-RW optical storage, but the HDD it's offering is Hitachi's 7200rpm notebook-friendly Travelstar, probably a 60GB version.
The unit includes a built in card reader, an S/P DIF audio port, four USB 2.0 ports, a 1394 connector, 56Kbps modem, 10/100Mbps Ethernet. And a 12-cell battery. With 12 cells, says VoodooPC, this is the first desktop replacement offering "decent" battery life. Generic tests show around 3.9 hours, but two hours is probably a better 'real world' life.
The (8lb) m:855 will come in an array of coloured cases, with room for personalised decals to be added on the buyer's behalf. The machine is expected to begin shipping at the end of the month, internationally as well as to North America.
Are you getting paid to post this identical messgae on as many sites as you can? If so, where can the rest of us sign up. But seriously folks, let's keep this an Apple affair, shall we?
I just was walking through the Mall of America up here in Minnesota and sometimes kill time in the Apple store. But, this time I went by and it was all closed up. The sign said they were closed for remodeling, but I also noticed that the part that looked like it was under construction was about twice the size as the old Apple store. So that's good news; they can always use a bigger store! It reopens in mid-November.
Texas is tough - three hours to the nearest store from me, though I live in the 6th largest city in the US! (I'm in San Antonio, the closest store is Houston)
For now, it's online resellers, and maybe the apple store, but selling my wife on a new machine will require an enjoyable hands-on experience!
