Lenovo has begun shipping its first 3D notebook, the IdeaPad Y560d, less than a month after introducing it.
The Y560d features a 15.6-inch 16:9 high-definition screen. The TriDef 3D technology (TriDef Media Player) software can transform a standard movie into a 3D experience (the software does not support transforming Blu-ray or HD-DVD content though), while TriDef Photo Transformer can turn standard photos into 3D as well.
TriDef 3D technology solution includes a 3D screen and 3D glasses, as well.
The first configuration available will be have a Core i7 processor running at 1.60GHz, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD.
Lenovo is selling the 3D notebook for $1500 USD.
In the future, Lenovo will offer a separate configuration, with an i7 at 1.86GHz, a Blu-ray drive, and "RapidDrive," a hybrid 64GB SSD and 750GB HDD for quicker booting.
