Lenovo has unveiled its first 3D-capable notebook, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d, complete with a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 TriDef 3D display and polarizer glasses, a choice of Core i3, i5 or i7 processors, and ATI Radeon HD 5730 1GB graphics. The TriDef 3D solution used in the IdeaPad Y560d can not only show native 3D content but create pseudo-3D graphics out of 2D images and video.
As for other hardware, that includes up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, up to a 750GB hard-drive (plus optional 32GB/64GB SSD), a choice of DVD or Blu-ray and standard WiFi b/g/n and gigabit ethernet. Other options include Bluetooth and 3G WWAN, while there’s a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a USB/eSATA combo, three regular USB ports, ExpressCard and both VGA and HDMI outputs.
If you’re already a glasses-wearer then Lenovo supply clip-on polarizing lenses that can hook onto your existing frames, and battery life is rated at up to 5hrs from the integrated Intel HD graphics or up to 4hrs using the ATI GPU. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d will go on sale by the end of the month, priced from $1,199.99.
