Pros:

The updated Toshiba Qosmio F755 improves the original's glasses-free autostereoscopic 3D.
Glassesfree 3D has “geewow” factor that will impress anyone under the age of 11. Bright screen with great resolution.
Impressive glassesfree stereoscopic 3D effect.

Cons:

The 3D effect still works best for a single viewer, and can be finicky at times. While 3D games are supported, the underpowered GPU makes most unplayable.
The 3D tech is still not ready for prime time. Disappointing performance at this price level. Touchsensitive buttons (mute, WiFi, 3D, et cetera) don’t indicate whether the feature is off or on. Pretty darn red. One hour of battery life? Ferrealz?

Mediocre 3D graphics performance; stereoscopic drivers not finished at time of testing; heavy
The 3D effect works best for a single viewer, and can still be finicky at times. Games and online 3D video don't work yet, although future updates are promised. Playback of 3D content is at a lower resolution than 2D content
