Asus ROG G53SX laptop to have glassless 3D

3D has always been a risky business, and although the cinemas have been bombarded with tons of 3D movies these few years, 3D hasn't really lifted off in the consumer level. We've seen plenty of 3DTVs, and also a few laptops with 3D support (that still need 3D active shuttle glasses), Asus is going the Nintendo 3DS route with their new ROG gaming laptop.

ASUS has a potential answer in the shape of the Republic of Gamers G53SX laptop that's being shown off at Computex right now. It's the world's first glasses-free 3D laptop. If it helps, you can think of it as a giant Nintendo 3DS for playing WOW on.

Externally, it looks the same as previous G-series laptops from ASUS sitting gimp-like in its suit of rubber, with hard angles and giant vents round the back. Under that there's an Intel Core i7 CPU, Z68 motherboard and GeForce 560M graphics chip.

'Regular' 3D gaming roughly halves framerates over 2D gaming on the same system. Assuming glasses-free tech has the same performance hit, that 560M might struggle to drive the 15unch, 1920x1080 screen stereoscopically.
