Featuring two NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX GPUs running in NVIDIA SLI mode and powered by AMD Turion™ 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, the HW:201 also features the biggest notebook display on the market today – a 20.1" high-resolution screen – making it the perfect laptop for PC gamers who demand a more immersive portable PC gaming experience. The HW:201 is set to begin shipping to customers on January 8, 2007.

At the core of the ENVY HW:201, users can choose between two NVIDIA graphics cards: the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX with 512MB of RAM for high-performance PC gaming or the NVIDIA Quadro® FX 2500M with 512MB of RAM for those looking for a high-performance portable workstation. Users can additionally select a choice of a single graphics card or two in NVIDIA SLI mode for the ultimate in gaming performance and image quality. For the hardcore PC gamer, this means the BIG screen provides dual graphic cinema quality gaming with blistering fast response times that are sure to turn heads.

Driving the system is AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, which delivers exceptional multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance. This high-performance CPU allows users to simultaneously run multiple applications at the same time – all with increased performance. Performing tasks such as burning CDs, reading email messages, editing digital photos and listening to music all at the same time with no slow downs means a richer overall experience for the user.

The ENVY HW:201, which measures 18.75" x 13.5" x 1.9", also supplies tremendous storage (up to 320GB using two hard drives), allowing users to save more of their favorite photos, music, games, and more, as well as headroom to install additional office and entertainment applications. Customers may also choose RAID 0 for the ultimate transfer rates and application load times.

“It’s like we crammed a desktop into a notebook form factor,” said Rahul Sood, chief technologist, VoodooPC, part of the Global Gaming business unit of HP. “It may be large, and the battery life is non-existent, but this is one insanely fast notebook.”

“Voodoo is always at the peak of performance,” said Rene Haas, general manager of Notebook GPUs at NVIDIA. “With two of the fastest NVIDIA GeForce notebook GPUs in NVIDIA SLI mode or a NVIDIA Quadro GPU, this new graphics powerhouse is the ultimate mobile gaming and workstation machine.”
