HP Absorbs Voodoo Into Consumer Line

HP announced on Wednesday that it has merged Voodoo PC into its consumer computer business. This development comes after HP acquired boutique PC maker Voodoo in 2006 in an undisclosed sum.
The integration of Voodoo into HP is just another step in the plan, according to HP spokeswoman Ann Finnie. "It is just the next step of integration into the business units that deliver Compaq Presario and [HP] Pavilion," she said to PC World.
Current Voodoo fans shouldn’t notice any difference. "Don’t expect customers to see a difference," Finnie said.
Voodoo founder and HP Chief Technology Officer Rahul Sood explained in his blog, “Voodoo products are no longer going to be stand-alone entities, but rather they have been welcomed into the greater HP catalogue.”
“Ultimately it means that Voodoo and Voodoo-influenced products will be easier to buy, faster to get, they will feature local service, and they will have the full power of HP’s marketing and sales channel behind them,” said Sood, adding that the Voodoo brand will not be dissolved by HP.
Voodoo is known for its design of stylish and high-performing PC desktops and laptops. Its most recent product, the Envy 133 is considered by many as one of the top modern designs in the PC notebook space, and will be a part of the new HP product line.

This is a great that HP aquired voodoo as far as nootbooks go. I personally If I were to get a laptop get it from hp.
So now the Blackbird will be competing in-house with Voodoo? Hard to see them marketing the two if HP wants to sell the "bird" but also keep the Voodoo name.
Hopefully they will be doing some "voodoo" on HP products, and bring some high-octane gaming laptops to the market. The current line of 17" HP laptops pretty much stink at gaming.
LOL how long have you been around comuters dude. ALL Laptops suck at gaming. unless you want to get one of those alienware laptops that is the size of your desk
