Verdict

The 3D effect is better than ever, but building it into a 15.6in laptop creates more than a few issues

ASUS clearly the inventor of PC market

ASUS becoming the leader in innovation and quality in PC market (not only inventing netbooks but they clearly lead the way from mainboards to laptops). That means I am becoming a true ASUS fanboy!

Glasses?

So what if you are one of the huge number of people who wear glasses already? Presumably this laptop becomes unusable?

Actually, I tried the glasses on top of my glasses - and it was really ok - though my glasses are small and round, and the experience was 3D :) though I tried it with the Acer model not this one.

headaches?

I love the idea of 3d gaming (believe me I need the relaxation) and after HD it would be the next big tech progression. That said the tech you need to play it will have to drop in price a fair bit before I'd shell out for it but actually seeing 3D capable computers does excite me. I do have worries over the health concerns. I am no expert but have heard that there is an increased risk of headaches with use of the 3D glasses required. As someone who suffers headaches already, this concerns me greatly.
