Voodoo Envy 133 is World’s Thinnest Laptop
At a slender 0.70″ thick, the Voodoo Envy 133 replaces the Macbook Air’s hefty 0.76″ to claim the title of “World’s Thinnest Laptop [for now]“. The Voodoo Envy 133 is available in black or white, weighs 3.4 lbs, has a 13.3″ display, and starts at $2,099. Other features include Ethernet, an 64 GB solid state drive, Carbon Fiber casing, Wifi, a multiple gesture keypad, an integrated webcam, an external optical disk drive, and a back lit keyboard. Wow, I’m envious. The Voodoo Envy 133 will be available on June 20th!
MusicPad Pro Tablet Aids the Poor, Starving Artist in You
The MusicPad Pro Tablet seems like a useful electronic for composing musicians. The MusicPad Pro has a 12.1″ TFT colour touch screen display, 1024×768 resolution, 64 mb of internal memory, video/audio out, 2 USB ports, and is extremely portable. With the MusicPad Pro, you gain access to FreeHand’s online store of downloadable sheet music, where prices range from $1.95 to $59.95. Although the MusicPad Pro is aimed at musicians, I would imagine that not many musicians would be able to afford it at its hefty price of $899. Click here for more details.
