There's no getting away from it, folks. 3D is everywhere, and it looks as though it's here to stay.
Adding a little more momentum to the three-dimensional trend, ASUS has today confirmed a UK launch for what it calls the world's first 3D gaming notebook, the G51J 3D.
The portable powerhouse, pictured above, incorporates NVIDIA 3D Vision technology to provide portable 3D graphics. As with NVIDIA's desktop efforts, 3D stereoscopic imaging is achieved with the use of active-shutter glasses and a wide-range infrared emitter - both of which are bundled with the notebook.
Don the specs, fire up a 3D-capable game, and your visual experience will be provided via a 15.6in LED-backlit display with a 1,366x768 resolution and an all-important 120Hz refresh rate.
Meanwhile, providing the juice is a 1.6GHz Intel Core i7 720QM processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M graphics card and dual 500GB hard drives.
Measuring 375mm x 265mm x 34.3-40.6mm and weighing 3.68kg, it isn't the lightest 15.6in system we've ever seen, but it's roomy enough to squeeze in a Blu-ray optical drive - which, of course, will enable you to make full use of upcoming Blu-ray 3D titles.
Can't get enough of all the 3D action? ASUS' G51J 3D notebook will be available next month priced at £1,699. Pick one up before March 31st and NVIDIA will throw a free copy of the Avatar 3D game in your direction, too.
