Here’s the new Voodoo PC Envy 133. These white and black carbon-fiber Intel Centrino beauties are just 0.7" thin, meaning they’re thinner than the MacBook Air (which is 0.76" thick at the middle).

Other than the thin waist the Envy 133 sports a 13.3" LED WXGA (1280×800) screen, weighs 3.4 lbs and packs features like ambient sensors to adjust the screen brightness, a backlit and tactile keyboard, integrated webcam, multiple gesture touchpad and Ethernet connectivity as well as WiFi.

It comes with Voodoo IOS too, meaning you can fire up bootware Linux really fast for Skype, Firefox and similar tasks without booting Windows Vista.

Expect a starting cost of $2,100 when its launched during this summer.
