First Look At Acer's 3D Laptop

Barence writes "Acer today revealed the world’s first 3D laptop, the Acer Aspire 5738PG, which will launch alongside Windows 7 on October 22. It uses a combination of software and specially coated glass on the 15.4in screen, along with a standard set of polarised glasses. Initial impressions were a bit iffy, and whether anyone actually needs a 3D laptop is another question entirely, but we'll find out this month."

And aim the cooling vents directly at the retinas!

Why do you need a laptop? Put a CPU several times more powerful than iPhone in glasses themselves and use a webcam/microphone to let you "type" on any flat surface or give voice commands. Sounds like another case of trying to glue in a new technology without thinking how to integrate it.

You're right. Your solution really does sound like trying to glue in a technology without thinking how to integrate it.

I have one. The stylus input device works quite well for drawing, but the UI sucks. There's not even a delete function. Battery life seems to be very good though.
