Beautiful Envy Packaging

Since we're taking orders on the new Envy 133 now, we thought it would be a good time to demonstrate the packaging and the contents that come inside the box. Our packaging expert Allison worked with our ID folks to design the Envy 133 presentation box to look somewhat like a tiffany box. It lifts up like a hat box to reveal a wonderful presentation, including the Envy 133 wrapped in a microfiber polish sleeve.


Notice the top tray as it lifts out, underneath this tray are the other accessories.




So let's go through the accessories, below you will see the Voodoo Adapter, which includes two removable cables (just incase your power cable starts to fray after heavy usage - you don't have to replace the entire power supply, just the cable). By the way, when you hook up your Ethernet to the Voodoo Adapter the logo lights up to indicate when you have an I.P. address.

You'll also see the Voodoo Presentation Adapter - which is more than just an HDMI to VGA adapter. This little adapter slides into the HDMI port and automatically adjusts the display to support a projector - you don't have to lift a finger! Just plug the projector in on the other end and you're ready to present! Just be careful, too much Powerpoint can kill a person.

Lastly, you'll see our Voodoo ESATA Optical Drive, the cable folds under the device and hides in place.


Below you will see zoomed in shots of the carbon fiber. Although this is an engineering unit in the picture, the logo is NOT red on the actual unit. It's silver and chrome - and no, there are no options to how the logo can look or where it can go. It's always going to be our Voodoo Icon in silver and chrome.  I should also mention, the internal logo below the display in red is actually silver on the production unit.

 




Here are some zoomed in shots of the actual keyboard. The carbon fiber weave on the palm rest area is much finer than the outside panels. It's more of a micro-hexx design, and it's simply awesome.




Thanks for taking the time to view our pictures!

packaging is beautiful. Too bad we can't opt to have multiple different colours to choose from on the logo. I'd love one with blue on one side and slate colour on the other side against the black carbon fiber.

It's soo soo beautiful, it's a shame no laptop manufacture makes a product of this quality in a 15inch form factor, with 4gigs of RAM, a serious processor, and a discrete graphics option...

*Cough*Please*Cough*

But seriously, thats is absolutely beautiful packaging for a beautiful product. Congrats Allison.

I would like to know why the logo on the microfiber sleeve is different than in the lid of the Envy.

Thanks.
