PC Magazine Reviews Sharp's 3D Notebook

Moochman writes "I recently discovered this article over at PC Magazine, an excellent and fairly complete review of the Sharp RD3D, aka the 'world's first 3D laptop' (see previous Slashdot coverage here). In addition to rating performance, features, etc, it provides a nice little explanation and diagram of how the no-glasses 3D technology works, and discusses possible eye-strain issues. The biggest disappointment is that even the included 3D games still don't work right." Moochman provides a link to Sharp's information site, too.

    Well, if we're talking about porn being viewed on one of these things, i think eye strain will be the last of their worries ;)

  7. That is a peculiar eye position for a laptop by cfish · · Score: 3, Funny

    The article says your eyes need to 21 inches from the screen and perfectly centered.

    You'd look like a big retarded hunch back if you do that in front of a laptop.
