Sony’s foray into the limited world of 3D laptops. One of the portable 3D products that they are preparing to launch is a 3D-enabled Vaio F laptop. The Windows-based computer offers a rich 3D experience on the road, but it requires active shutter glasses, which will likely make it a non-starter for many users. It's a winner,
however, if you want a laptop for playing 3D games or editing video from a 3D camera. I got to see it running some video editing software at Sony's CES booth. The 3D visuals in the content samples I viewed were impressive on the Vaio's beautiful, 16-inch 1080p LCD. It offers an excellent sense of depth and easily rivals the quality of full-sized 3D TVs.
The Vaio F feature an 2nd generation Intel Core i7 processor, an HD display with an LED backlit display and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M GPU with 1GB of video memory, and a built in blu-ray player. Its built-in HDMI output allows you to plug the laptop into a 3D-enabled television for big screen viewing. It's has a switch for toggling between 2D and 3D mode, which means that you can still use it if you leave the glasses at home. The 3D Vaio F is expected to launch in Q1 at a price of $1,700..
