Just weeks after “reinventing” Voodoo with the Envy 133 laptop and Omen gaming desktop, it looks like HP’s had sufficient — it’s decided to straight-up merge the specialty PC shop with its core consumer business, and sell its products alongside the Compaq Presario and HP Pavilion lines. Yeah, that’ll assemble Voodoo seem totally hardcore. For it’s part, HP says it’s always been planning on that kind of merger, and that the move will manufacture Voodoo product easier to buy worldwide and faster to get with no change in service for existing

customers, but it’s plus abnormally ambiguous on whether the Voodoo name will live on — saying only that it’s “likely,” but that a decision hasn’t been reached. All that means that it’s even weirder that HP has both the Voodoo and Blackbird gaming lines, of course — any bets on which one gets axed first?
