    So it's just the software? Anything special about the screen?

    Thanks for the info Chaz.

    I really don't see it being anything more than a novelty though.

    Watching 3D movies on such a small screen sounds extremely painful!
    I seriously doubt you would be able to output the 3D effect onto a HDTV.
    That would be the only way I see this laptop having any success.

    Sounds like a gimmick. Not a good one either.
