Lenovo has unveiled a new 3-D enabled multimedia laptop IdeaPad Y560d, which features 15.6-inch high-definition 16:9 widescreen and polariser glasses, and provides optimal 3-dimensional experience when combined with compatible 3D movies and games.
According to Lenovo, the new TriDef 3-D technology allows users to experience 3D on their standard 2D videos and photos, while the TriDef Media Player transforms a standard movie into a 3D experience and the TriDef Photo Transformer turns standard photos into 3D.
The new Y560d laptop features RapidDrive technology, which combines SSD and HDD storage offerings to deliver faster Windows 7 boot-up times and improve application performance. It provides Windows 7 boot up 66% faster, and copy files within the computer in less than half the time.
The company said that the Y560d will be available with JBL-designed speakers and Dolby Home Theater surround sound and will be powered with an Intel Core i7 processor featuring Intel Turbo Boost Technology, and the latest high-performance ATI Radeon HD5730 1GB graphics card.
With switchable graphics, users can toggle between performance and energy-saving modes for extended battery life and the laptop also includes an optional Blu-ray Disc drive, HD graphics support and an HDMI output for connecting to other HD devices such as a TV or gaming console, the company said.
Dion Weisler, vice president, business operations, at Lenovo, said: "Fun is a notebook that brings multimedia to life and the IdeaPad Y560d does this in a dramatic fashion with a truly unique 3D viewing experience.
"While 3D technology has been around for ages, it has not been readily accessible to consumers within the home. Lenovo is helping bridge this gap by delivering consumers a 3D experience on a familiar PC platform that can be viewed and enjoyed when and where they want."
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d laptop will be available by the end of June and will start at approximately $1,199.99.
