Lenovo jumps on the 3D laptop train with the IdeaPad Y560d

We’re not sure there are any PC manufacturers without a 3D laptop in store at this point, but add Lenovo to the confirmed list! The 15.6-inch IdeaPad Y560d poo poos NVIDIA’s 3D Vision, and instead utilizes TriDef’s 3D technology like Acer Aspire 5738DG. The solution, which combines a specially coated screen, software and special polarizing glasses, can convert 2D content to 3D content, but in our previous experience we’ve been less than impressed with the quality of the end result. And unlike Toshiba’s Satellite A665, TriDef doesn’t support 3D Blu-ray content. Yeah, so we’re hesitant about all that three-dee stuff, but the rest of the machine looks mighty tempting. It’ll be available with Intel Core i3 through Core i7 processors, an ATI Radeon HD5720 GPU, and up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. It will also apparently have Lenovo’s RapidDrive technology as an option, which marries a regular hard drive with an SSD for faster boot times. Just don’t put on those 3D specs yet, the Y560d won’t be available until the end of the month and will start at $1,200. Check out some of the press shots below and if you’re still digging for some details the full press release is after the break.
