I remember glasses-free laptops being the fad for a while, but you had to look at them at too narrow an angle to get the effect.]]>Oct 14th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/Oct 14th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/Oct 14th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/

I can't speak for everyone on Engadget, but as for myself, I think the 3D laptop idea is fantastic. I'm not sure that this is the implementation that I'd want (I don't think there's a real barrier keeping them from using 120Hz displays at laptop sizes and resolutions), and I'm not sure that my next purchase would be an Acer (after the recall they've issued on my current model), but as for 3D laptops in general? Bring them on!

I know you guys feel the need to editorialize most of your posts (don't know WHY you feel the need to do that, but I have observed it repeatedly so it's obviously the case), but just because this isn't something YOU want (or think you want), it doesn't follow that there's no demand for this. And even if people are ragging on them now, if the technology comes out and works well, the interest will definitely follow.]]>Oct 14th 2009 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/
I for one of course agree with the article, please, someone kill this 3-D craze, it is getting out of control.]]>Oct 14th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/Oct 14th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/
Nice feature for games and such where the sense of being in a 3D environment and moving around through it are expected, bad for general purpose computing.]]>Oct 14th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/
A 3D UI, done right, could be EASIER for non-geeks to grasp, because it's closer to real-world experience. Granted, we have a long way to go before we'll hit the "a-ha" moment of 3D in a PC. It took us, what, 3.11 versions of Windows before it caught on? But thanks to pioneers who saw the potential of a graphical UI, and worked for years to develop it, I don't have to write this in a 80-column text window.

Kudos to Acer for taking this first step. I, for one, am looking forward to 3D modeling, texturing, lighting and animating with a "real" 3D system.]]>Oct 14th 2009 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/acer-claims-aspire-5738dg-as-its-first-3d-laptop-we-worry-over/
Just my two sense...
