Hot on the heels of Toshiba announcing a 3D-capable laptop the other day, Lenovo dips its toe in three-dimensional water with the IdeaPad Y560d.
Bucking the recent trend established by 3D laptops powered by NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, Lenovo opts for TriDef 3D technology that's allied with polarised glasses and a special screen. The mix enables 2D content to be converted into 3D content, Lenovo says, but going the non-NVIDIA route means that the Y560d misses out on 3D Blu-ray, although titles are currently few and far between.
Cutting to the components, the 15.6in (1,366x768px) laptop's credentials are rather good, as it can ship with either mobile Core i3 or Core i7 chips, up to 8GB of RAM, 750GB hard-drive, a non-3D-compatible Blu-ray player, and an ATI Radeon HD 5730 1GB video card. Heck, Lenovo throws in its innovative RapidDrive tech that amalgamates an SSD - installed in an internal PCIe slot - and spindle-based drive for faster booting.
Starting at a cool $1,200 and shipping at the end of the month, it's one mid-sized laptop to look out for.
