Fujitsu has begun shipping their 3D-capable LifeBook AH572 today. The laptop features a 15.6-inch (1366 × 768) 3D display with one pair of included 3D glasses, an Intel Core i5-2410M processor clocked at 2.9GHz with Turbo Boost, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, Intel HD 3000 graphics, two integrated cameras for recording 3D video, 500GB of internal storage, a Blu-ray drive and a 6-cell battery that is touted to offer up to 7 hours of operation time.

Connectivity-wise you can expect a pair of USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports each, as well as HDMI out, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Intel's Wireless Display technology to stream the contents of your computer to a nearby HDTV -- connected to a separate WiDi receiver, not included. All the aforementioned features are part of the base model, which starts at $999.


We're not quite sure how Intel's integrated graphics will handle stereoscopic content but Fujitsu claims videos will come "alive with 3D realism." So, if you are in the market for a 3D capable laptop but don’t want to break the bank then the Fujitsu LifeBook AH572 is definitely worth considering. Check out the full details here.

7 hours of "operation" time?

Don't they mean "3D turned off" time?

I mean, if you're gonna sell a 3D laptop, be upfront with the consumer, and tell them how long they should expect their laptop to last with the primary feature turned on. My bet is about 1-2 hours, tops.

Agreed. Especially if the contrast is up a notch on top of the 3D feature.
