VoodooPC Announces Core 2 Extreme X6800 Notebook

malware · Jul 18, 2007

VoodooPC is now offering a new performance notebook equipped with Intel's Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor and up to 600GB of hard disk space. The Envy H:171 is one of the first notebooks to be available with Intel's latest mobile processor. In addition to the 2.66GHz quad-core CPU with 8MB of L2 cache, the system has a 17" WUXGA screen (1920x1200) and can be ordered with up to three hard drives. The base version of the X6800 system with 1GB of memory and a single 80GB drive sells for just under $6000. However, VoodooPC offers plenty of option to elevate the price to more than $8400 - including up to 4GB memory, three hard drives (with up to 600GB capacity according to the press release and up to 750GB according to the configuration page), a TV tuner and a $650 custom paint job with tattoo finishes.

tvdang7 · Jul 18, 2007

do ppl actually buy these computers from them? thats like half of my car !!!

GJSNeptune · Jul 18, 2007

I'd rather stick some wheels on my tower and maybe a leash.

quickie · Jul 18, 2007

granted its a high performance notebook, but the price is still very expensive. for $6000 you get "just" a 80GB HD and 1GB of RAM? why don't I just burn my money :rolleyes:

GJSNeptune · Jul 18, 2007

Well it is VoodooPC.

that actually would make it a decent replacement :roll:

My Envy lasted the best part of a couple of months. Since then, its been a paperweight ... a silver, hand painted paperweight.

It costs a quarter of the damn thing's price to ship it back from abroad. At least I have a green name on the VoodoPC forums I suppose. :rolleyes:

VoodooPC is absolute trash. They use cheapy plastic parts that break easily, cheaply made motherboards, etc etc. Get yourself a Dell or IBM or something thats going to last more than 3 days.

GJSNeptune · Jul 18, 2007

Whoa, you call VoodooPC trash and recommend slightly longer-lasting trash? :confused:

I wouldn't put Dell with IBM. No way.

erocker · Jul 19, 2007

Uck! Who really buys this crap. I couldn't ever see any of these things lasting all that long with a hot core2 extreme in it! Worthless.
Another brilliant move by HP, who have made the crappiest of crap builder computers for longer than anyone should be allowed to.

how about i build my own then

. ill call it SEXY! who wants to order first ill charge less and have a happy face paint.

Voodoo PC makes quality gaming products that are almost as good as Overdrive PC. Quality parts and allow a plethora of choices for what you want.

Now on to the news topic, that is one wicked gaming laptop. Id almost say, plugged in to a constant power source (as let's face it, 3 hdds and what that thing has in it, will only have a battery life of 30mins!! <G>) would rival some well to do desktop gaming machines.
