New Voodoo PC gaming laptop

HP will release a new loptop under its "Voodoo PC" brand that will squarly be aimed at gamers. The codenamed "Firfefly" is still in a experimental phase, however Laptopmag already managed to get hold of a test sample and has taken some pictures of the newest addition.

The laptop has two displays, the main display is a 17,1 inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, and there is an additional smaller display measuring 4.3 inch and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The second display can be used to show information, a messenger or any website while the main display is used for gaming.

An Intel Core 2 Extreme quadcore at 2,4 GHz paired with 4 GB of memory and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3870 crossfire setup ensures that the laptop has sufficient power to handle any game currently on the market. However this much power also has a downside, the power usage of 170 Watt makes the extra supplied external battery a necessity in stead of a luxury.

The gaming laptop also has an illuminated keyboard and a specially developed multi-touch trackpad that simulates the three mousebuttons comonly used in games played with a normal mouse, eliminating the need for an additional mouse with the laptop. Sound is handled by a Creative X-Fi 5.1 soundcard and an infrared webcam comes as standard.

More information on the "HP Firefly" will be disclosed on the CES later this week, which will also be the first time time that consumers can see the laptop in action. A definite releasedate or an indication price has not been given as of yet.
