Toshiba Glasses-Free 3D - Releasing August 16th

Remember that Qosmio F750 glasses-free 3D laptop we got our greasy paws all over back in early July? Well, it seems like it's gotten minor moniker makeover for its US debut, and is now the Qosmio F755. Thankfully, the news doesn't end with a new name -- we've got a price and release date for this parallax-packing lappie too! On August 16th you'll be able to pick up Toshiba's latest 15.6-inch media machine starting at $1,699. The notebook will hit Fry's, Best Buy, and Newegg all on the same day, sporting the same Core i7 processor, 6GB of RAM, 750GB hard disk, Blu-ray drive, and GeForce GT 540M GPU. Sadly, it won't be able to convert 2D games to 3D out of the box, but Toshiba is working with Nvidia to deliver that feature by November. Now you'll just have to bide your time till this 8-pound, "portable" 3D rig starts shipping in about two weeks.

26) Toshiba Satellite A665 is World’s First 3D Blu-ray Playing Laptop

Toshiba is set to become the first PC maker to put a 3D-capable Blu-ray Disc laptop on sale, it said. The company’s Dynabook TX/98MBL will hit Japan in July and is based around a 3D system from graphics-chip maker NVidia.

Toshiba’s laptop has a 15.6-inch display and a Blu-ray Disc drive with support for 3D movies. The laptop is based around an Intel Core i7-740QM processor and the GeForce chip in use is the GTS 365M, said Toshiba. NVidia’s “3D Vision” system combines one of its GeForce graphics cards with a pair of active-shutter glasses and a plug-in transmitter to send sync signals to the glasses and software. Disappointingly though, despite the screen’s size, its resolution is a meager 1366 x 768, so not even full HD Specs of Toshiba Satellite A665 (TX/98MBL) [First laptop with 3D Blu-Ray disc drive] - The A665 also offers a 15.6-inch screen, Harman Kardon stereo speakers, Dolby Advanced Audio and feather-touch multimedia controls. - The A665 comes with Intel Core i7 (Quad Core) processor, up to 4 GB DDR3 (1066 MHz) RAM, up to 500GB of HDD with 3D impact sensor, Nvidia GeForce GTS 350M graphics. - Toshiba Resolution+, Toshiba Media Controller, Toshiba LifeSpace - Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, WLAN (802.11 b/g/n), Gigabit Ethernet LAN - There is also Blur-ray Disc rewritable drive, 1.3 MP webcam and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. - Pre-installed 3D content - Energy Star 5.0 qualified The 3D laptop started for sale on July(2010) in Japan for about ¥250,000 (£1,900) – time enough for one or more of Toshiba’s rivals to sneak in a machine of their own.
