Agreed, laptops have there uses, but i prefer a desktop anyday of the week.]]>Nov 19th 2009 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/
I agree with everyone on this thread. I have used deaktop all my life, couldn't understand the need to use a laptop/notebook. In fact I only very recently gotten myself a notebook and regretted it almost immediately. I skipped 2 generations of mobile computing, sticking with my desktop. Most of my mobile computing involves smartphones only... and those aren't much of a computer either.

So... When was it that no many buy desktop anymore? I know... the author must be referring to the bunch of general masses then....]]>Nov 20th 2009 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/
I'd like to see external GPU solutions for laptops, more of them, more widespread. ]]>Nov 19th 2009 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/Probably because desktop GPU's are almost half the size of a netbook.

I hear the PS3 is bringing 3D support to it in the near future, not in the form of a new PS3, but through a firmware update. So if I wanted to take advantage of this, what exactly would I need? Is it as simple as having a television with 120Hz? Or is it more complicated than that?

I'm really interested in this new 3D technology, although as of now, I'm a bit confused on exactly how it works.]]>Nov 19th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/Yes you do need a 120 display, the way it works is to alternate the view of the left and right eyes 120 times a second. 60 times you'll see the left eye, and 60 times the right. Normally that would just result in a blur, so you need the special LCD glasses. When using these only the eye meant to see the image CAN see that image. IE: When the view for the left eye is on the screen the right eye can only see the opaque LCD lens, and vice-versa. Of course it has to sync properly or you get "ghosting" which is when one eye catches a little of what is only supposed to be seen by the other eye. On PC there's a transmitter that signals the glasses when to change, however I'm not sure how they're going to handle that on PS3 yet, but since it's coinciding with the release of their 3D TV, and Blueray player(s) I would assume that the functionality will be built in.]]>Nov 19th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/
Something Billy left out is that CURRENT 120 Hz and 240 Hz TVs won't be able to do 3D in this way because they cannot accept 120 different frames per second (they can't accept 120 Hz signal). They can only accept a 60 Hz signal and show each frame twice (or four times in the case of 240 Hz). This is why the TV makers say you'll need a new set. I think I read that bit of trivia on Engadget, actually.]]>Nov 19th 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/Nov 19th 2009 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/asus-g51j-3d-hands-on/
