These idiots took over VoodooPC which WAS a boutique gaming computer maker (like Alienware still is but now under Dell) that made very nice high end (very pricey too, but competitive with other boutique) machines. When HP bought them out they had 3 units in production I remember, their desktop system, a laptop, and a small form factor pc with an external power source. Once HP got their hands on it they killed off the desktop and laptop and now they have just the little tiny underpowered machine for a waaay too high outrageous price. HP tried the gaming computer thing once, their Blackbird failed hard and was also too pricey. When you look at a gaming machine and go whoa, this thing is expensive, I'll go back to Alienware, you know it’s expensive. HP ruins everything they touch. They should stick with making mediocre machines for the mass consumers.

That Voodoo acquisition resulted in the HP Envy laptop line which was great, but I don't know if it still exists.

Envy was the fruit of Voodoo. They had Envy (laptop), Omen (desktop) and i forgot the name of the small one just this minute but the point is that HP just took it from Voodoo and slapped their logo onto it, no new dev or anything.
