Why? How many people routinely watch movies on their 15" laptop? It's not even a 1080p display. The only time I actually sit and watch a movie on my laptop is at the airport, on the plane, or a similar circumstance and I'm not about to throw on some ridiculous looking 3D goggles to look like an idiot for my 4 hour flight. Maybe it's just me but I can't see the demand for this. I'd love to have a legitimate 3D television but I see no reason for a 3D 720p laptop display.

It's only the first one. I expect improvement with time, as with any other technology.

I'll give it a look over in Best Buy or Fry's. The rest of the hardware is pretty solid for $780. If you can turn the 3d mode off with a Fn key it'd be worth it (does it?). I'm still holding out for USB 3...

Someone had to start it off. But yes, hopefully in the coming years 3D on a PC can be fine tuned.

Until more software and content is available for the home 3D market, this laptop will continue to be a novelty. Honestly, I'd think a larger 3D monitor for desktops would be more successful.

Polarized 3D glasses need not be goofy or ridiculous looking - They can be made as stylish as designer sunglasses. - I would buy this computer if it were smaller - I'd like a 12 inch or 14 inch screen, for viewing photos and videos taken with Fuji's new W1 3D digital camera.
