Voodoo Edge

The MacBook Air now has some competition when it comes to looks. I'm starting to like the look of this more than the Air, the sharp edges are really clean looking, way too expensive though. Hopefully they'll be able to combine looks and functionality sometime.

The MacBook Air is way overpriced, at least in my opinion.

What's the asking price? I remember Voodoo's desktops being ridiculously overpriced, I'd wager this thing's the same.

I also don't think this will be real competition for the Air. One of the main reasons, I find, for people buying an Apple product is because it's an Apple, a status and fashion symbol.

It was around $2,000, I'm not sure what the specs are though, or even if they've been released yet.

You can download the specs at the bottom
Intel Centrino processor featuring intel core 2 duo 1.8 - 1.6
13" display
On board graphics
64gig solid state drive or 80gig 4200rpm drive (damn that's slow!)
And the usual crap, looks amazing would love them to do a full size one in that style, looks like they only do two computers now the laptop and the omen.

Like above, people buy the Macbook Air because it's an Apple, not because of its specs.

This thing looks good, but because of the lack of curvature, it doesn't look as small as the Macbook Air.

it looks good, and i would buy it over apples....

but for me laptops are useless.... desktop guy all the way... and i can't imagine myself spending $2000+ on a laptop, where a $1000 or less one can handle the same thing.. but its only heavier....
