Anyone who thought that the demand for 3D laptops would fade after a short time may have to rethink that idea, for Toshiba have become the latest manufacturer to bring out a 3D capable laptop, the T551.The T551 is the latest machine to benefit from the new Sandy Bridge or second gen Core range of central processing units and of course in order to provide 3D quality images the laptops integrated graphics would need to be improved too, the addition of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M should take care of that nicely.
With a 15.6 inch high definition with 1,366 x 768 pixels resolution display this is the standard size screen for laptops, so no surprises there, the machine will be running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system. There is also a Blu-ray drive, for optical storage and providing multimedia playback, which is always going to be a top choice for consumers these days.
Under the fairly plain casing of the T551, there is an Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core mobile CPU with a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz running things, yet this is still a very mobile computer with a hard disk drive providing a capacity of 750 GB, which is going to be enough storage for most uses.
The video is handled by the 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics card, which is combined with up to 8 GB of DDR3, this is how the T551 can produce brilliant 3D images, along with the 3D screen and glasses of course!
Other features include Gigabit Ethernet, super fast USB 3.0 ports, 802.11n Wi-Fi, a webcam and the HDMI output, which is essential as this enables streaming to other larger monitors or 3D HDTV for that great 3D effect. However, remember not to forget to pick up some extra 3D glasses, as your Pals will not be able to enjoy the 3D effect without them.
There is no word on pricing or availability at the moment, although the Toshiba Dynabook T551 is likely to be released in Japan first of all.
