Voodoo Envy u:734 Review

Voodoo Envy u734In our recent roundup of gaming notebooks, one of the best performers was Voodoo’s SLI equipped Envy u:909. We love its power, performance, and quality, but few gamers have the $6,000 to spare on the base price. Not a millionaire? Consider the Envy u:734, Voodoo’s middleweight, 17 inch, dual core gaming notebook. It retains the exceptional build quality and most of the performance of the u:909, while eliminating the SLI graphics card array to achieve a more palatable $3,728 base price and a more portable package.

At 8.7 pounds, the u:734 weighs in on the lighter side for a gaming notebook. This case is remarkably solid, and the screen feels as if it would yield to nothing less than hurricane force. Our chassis was painted a subtle and attractive metallic green. The very sleek design makes the case feel smaller than Dell’s XPS M1710, though it’s actually a touch larger. The extra real estate allows room for a full-sized keyboard and number pad without shrinking important keys.

Four USB 2.0 ports decorate the right and back sides, while DVI and cable TV-out ports complement the I/O set. The front bezel sports a media control panel with dedicated volume and CD/DVD control buttons. While the notebook is powered down, CDs can be loaded and played directly using these controls. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Voodoo Envy u:734 :: Linked by LT Hacker
