Not a marketing flavor, more like a flu flavor

3d is like fusion technology, it's a futuristic technology, and probably always will be.

I think what's truly needed for it to even hope to succeed, would be passive shutter lenses that don't make you look like a total dork. You would need to be able to slide them over regular glasses and it would also help if people could have the glasses custom made if they didn't already have vision problems that required glasses. Optimally, they'd be able to work with the screen to suppress the proper images, but appear totally clear to the casual observer.

Yeah, give it another few decades and about 4-5 refresh attempts that absolutely fail to deliver.

@Bob

Remember these are laptops bob, so the screens on them will probably only go to 1366x768. Not what I would call a huge resolution yeah? The 425M should be fine to handle 3D at those settings.

Underpowered

I wonder how well the video card would actually handle this with modern games. 3D requires double the frame rate, is the 425M really up to that task?

I have no doubt that the 425M is capable of handling regular graphics fine. I seriously question it's ability when used with 3D on anything modern.
