Remember when notebooks were simple portable PCs? That's not the case anymore, and today's units boast all kinds of tricks, whether it's multitouch capabilities, or unveling the "world's first" 3D laptop, as Acer has done with its Aspire 5738PG.
Acer unveiled the 3D-capable laptop during a press conference on Tuesday. The lappy uses a combination of in-house software, a special screen coating, and polarized glasses to achieve the 3D effect.
"The display has been coated with a special 3D film that clings to the panel pixel by pixel, enabling the LCD technology to deliver a 3D visual feast," Acer stated. "Slip on the cool polarized eyeglasses that filter the images and you're ready to dive into an extraordinary 3D adventure."
According to Acer, its TriDef 3D Experience software makes it possible to view all of your 2D videos and photos in 3D. Moreover, it comes with a tool that enables 2D to 3D conversion for games and apps supporting DirectX 9 or above, the company said.

This is quite a breakthrough we are witnessing here. For the time being, I can only afford to invest in a laptop screen replacement, since my old one has some issues. Yet, in the next few months, I`m planning to invest in a new laptop. I was amazed by this review and I think this new LCD technology for random computer users like us.

If this thing rocks a 5770, has 3d, is 15.6 inches, has a backlit keyboard with customizable colours, comes in black, has full HD resolution, an SSD, USB 3, wireless N, bluetooth, and a core i7 M processor, I'm sold.

There was a laptop in a 2004 issue of MPC (I think between June-August) that had 3D capabilities, but it did games only. What happened to that?
