I have this laptop since October. I got it to view my stereo pictures from the Fuji 3d camera. It works great for this, but it is also a solid laptop and has now become my main computer. To view my 3d pictures I am using StereoPhoto Maker. After every photo shoot, I download my pictures, fire SPM, switch to "Interlaced Mode" and enjoy instant 3d. Since the screen works with circular polarization, I can use the free glasses I get from the 3d movies. Overall, I am very pleased with this laptop. The only thing I wish for is a docking station, so I don't have to plug/unplug cables when I use it in my office.

I love this computer because it is easy to use. The software pre-installed in the laptop is very easy to use that I can watch any DVDs, short films, and pictures which are not made in 3D format in 3D without problem. I even watched my old documentary film DVD in 3D!

This is everything I wanted in a laptop. It's fast, dependable, and just gets it done. The 3d on it is great, although it could be better.

Overall for the price it was a great value.

The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is it is advertised as having a fingerprint scanner, but mine doesn't have one.

False advertising on amazons part.

I am a 3-D enthusists and have been waiting a long time for a real 3-D viewing system to be available and it has finally arrived.
The Acer laptop with TriDef is a dream come true.
It utilzes the same Polarized 3-D glasses you receive when you go the the theatre and the effect looks as good. The Glasses it utitlizes are "Real D" and Acer includes their own version of one pair of glasses + another for attaching to reading glasses.
The biggest reason I love this laptop is because TriDef has included a way to view other 3-D formats including Field-Sequential which until now you could only view on a conventional Tube television with the necessary adapter and special wired or wireless glasses designed to work only with the adapter.
Now I can watch all 3-D movies produced on my Toshiba 3-D camcorder or watch any 3-D DVD movies designed for Field-Sequential 3-D.
There's no more flickering of the shutter on the glasses and no ghosting problems. The Acer laptop has a "Image Shift" which allows convergence adjustment while you're watching the 3-D DVD's or their own produced computer videos which they pre-installed in the Acer laptop. (6)
I didn't think I was able to watch Field-Sequential 3-D at first but found out from TriDef tech support that The change of format is easily obtained on the Acer keyboard by pressing Shift+D.
Then you see the options for 3-D, 2-D. Left eye sync viewing and Right Eye sync viewing. These options are the same as "A" or "B" sync on the Field-Sequential 3-D adapter.
Incidentally, if you have a regular computer without the TriDef screen for polarizing 3-D viewing, you can still watch your Field-Sequential 3-D movies by down loading TriDef 3-D from their web sight viewable with Red-Blue glasses. Again this is achieved by pressing "Shift+D on your computer keyboard.
The 3-D effect works but not as good as with polarizing glasses on this Acer Laptop.
Special thanks to the staff at Amazon.com by assisting me in making this review possible.
I can say only nice things about tech support at TriDef but feel information should be given about the Acer Laptop on their web sight.
I had to do all this research on my own with the help of their tech support.
In conclusion, I would like to say that when Sony comes out with a similar system for big screen LCD or LED Televisions I will be trading in my 46" XBR.

UPDATE JULY 7, 2010
I am still enjoying this 3-D laptop and recenttly purchased the Fuji W1-3D camera and both the 3-D photos and 3-D video look great on this Acer laptop.
However, Please beware that customer service at Acer really SUCKS.
The foriegners you talk to don't have a clue as to basic problems I encountered. So their only help is to transfer me to another consultant who charges $25.00 even though my Acer laptop is under FULL WARRANTY.
I told the last representative at Acer this will be my final Acer computer purchase until they can help me at Tech support without the up front charge of $25.00.
If you encounter a small probelm that a child could remedy then there's no charge.
So to all prospective Acer computer buyers BEWARE!

no more red and blue headache generating glasses, this is just like being in the movies, amazing

Do have a look at the 3D show Safety Geeks:SVI it comes for the Tri-Def player and is downloadable on [...] search comedy title Safety Geeks it is made for the Tri-Def player and shows it off nicely.

I recommed going to the yabazam site and downloading the 3D series Safety Geeks it's a well made adult swim type comedy

I clicked on Technofriends site and it says I am paying the price of $668.47 if you buy now??My amount is $739.99??

3D effects of preloaded 3D content is amazing. Normal content can also be converted to 3D using preloaded software and looks reasonable. Only challange is to find good 3D content.
