HP, which is trying to be stylish, is going up against Apple’s MacBook Air with a Voodoo Envy notebook that’s all of 0.70-inches deep and weighs 3.37 pounds wrapped in a carbon fiber skin.

It’s supposed to boot in seconds to access a browser or Skype, but has shorter battery life than Air. It should start at $2,099 this summer versus Air at $1,799.

HP’s also got a bunch of new iMac-looking second-generation 22-inch touch-screen PCs catering to the photos, music and videos set.

It’s all part of a massive 50 model rollout.
