Voodoo Firefly Gaming Laptop with Dual Display/ Multi-touch trackpad Hands-on

Surely, we are expecting to see many new innovative laptops at CES 2009 despite of economic slowdown. HP Voodoo Firefly Gaming Laptop will be one of them to stimulate hard-core gamers with its unique striking feature set.

Voodoo Firefly Gaming Laptop can play the latest 3D heavy games like Far Cry 2 or Fallout 3 smoothly without any disruption. Of course this 17-inch laptop with weight of 13 pounds is not for carrying; nonetheless it can be a very nice replacement for the desktop computer.

Voodoo Firefly resembles HP’s Blackbird desktop system with flavor of Voodoo laptop line and uses the imprint design that found on HP Pavilion dv laptop lines up. The upcoming machine utilizes the customizable backlighting keyboard- the feature is particularly found on Alienware Area 51-m17x or m15x gaming laptops, a night vision webcam, HP’s QuickPlay controls, a multi-touch trackpad placed totally on the right side of keyboard (which you can not find on other laptops. The reason is because mouse is normally located on the right side of keyboard by users) and secondary 4.3-inch touch-screen LCD display with 800 x 480 resolution that even you can watch a youTube video on it. This display settles beneath the main 17.1-inch display with 1920 x 1200 resolution similar to the one we have seen on Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 (with this difference that this display sits above the keyboard on N7010).

As the laptop is a house power system, it will feature Quad Core processor (like 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme) that is able to overclock, 4GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive with 7200 rpm and a couple of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 GPUs that running in CrossFire mode.

Another striking feature of this gaming laptop is its audio part. Unlike other laptops it utilizes an advanced Creative’s X-Fi audio technology, which features Dolby sound and support for 5.1 surround sound speaker sets (there are only two speakers placed above keyboard). The combination of sound quality and high graphics quality of game on this laptop brings a lot of pleasure for the user.

-The night vision webcam on this laptop supports an infrared mode to enable video chatting at night in total darkness or in dim light.

Surely this laptop will not come to market soon, so if you get any opportunity to attend the CES 2009, it would be great to see this laptop closely. As you saw, there were many innovative ideas used in this laptop that could bring best experience of playing game for users. The power features were not new ideas, but the combination of secondary display, mouti-touch trackpad and the stunning night vision webcam make this laptop a great one for the hardcore gamers and addicted users to their laptops.
