NEC to Introduce 3D Laptop Next Year?

Posted by michael on from the eyestrain dept.

Hoon Mihn Fao writes "For those of you for whom 2D laptops are not awesome enough, next year NEC is coming out with a 3D laptop. No, you don't have to wear those retro red and blue glasses, but the monitor is actually an LCD screen placed on top of a conventional monitor. The company is currently seeking gaming software companies to produce games for its technology. Each unit will cost an estimated $200 more than a conventional laptop."

    Forget about games. This could usher in a new golden era of pr0n.

    next year NEC is coming out with a 3D laptop.

    As far as I can see, my laptop has height, width and depth. So it's 3D, right? Does that mean that we can expect thicker laptops in the future (that are of course more 3D than thin ultra portables we can see today?)

    actually an LCD screen placed on top of a conventional monitor.

    This is a really clever idea. Now I can see how they managed to get that real 3D feel. Using a conventional CRT monitor in a laptop certainly adds some third dimension.

    Now I can see what they are planning to do:

    1. Use CRT monitor in a laptop
    2. CRT monitors are cheaper than LCD panels, but laptop with CRT is more 3D, so it can be more expensive than conventional thin ones
    3. ...
    4. PROFIT!! :)

    For once, I RTFA. And what do I get? About 5 more words than the Slashdot blurb. No pictures, no nothing. That's it -- it's hearsay and conjecture from now on.

    So the famous Windows "blue screen of death" will become the "blue cube of death"? ;-)
