First Look At Acer's 3D Laptop 151
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."

Why do you think that gaming is the only possible use for this?
How about: Medical imaging, military imaging, warehouse inventory control visualization, education, biological research, chemistry, physics modelling, and etc.
Really, you just aren't even trying to be imaginative.
