is that graphics processor capable of running 3d at decent framerate??? i think not.

Welcome to the 3D bandwagon, sit thigh, it's gonna be a pricey and useless ride!

During the winter Olympic Vancouver 2010 I visited acer's giant advert facility ... they were showing 3D laptops that used polarized screen not active ones ... i guess they have switched ...

ermmm... to be honest I dont see myself getting anything 3d for notebooks. its a fad for me.

the first issue i have is the requirement for shutter glassess (or has that changed) I dont see myself draging a pair where ever I go.

The second thing is IF I where to find a big screen the chances of it being a 3d compatible one are slim, and if it where to be 3d there probably would already be a 3d bluray player attached which is basicaly the only thing this notebook can do properly in 3d.

the extra cost is not justified for me since i cant really think of a place where i would prefere to use it, or a place where i would have the hardware on hand if the urge came around.

you can do 3d movies but not 3d games, the GPU can barely hold 30 FPS on the easier to run modern games, try having it render everything twice and see how fast it goes.

I appreciate if we could have some review on this laptop.

Acer released the worlds first 3D notebook just over a year ago, making the title of this story a bit dated.
