It seems that the market for 3D mobile computers is still very much alive and kicking, as proven by Toshiba, whose dynabook collection of notebooks just grew by one, dubbed T551. Since Intel released its Sandy Bridge collection of central processing units, many systems based on them have been showcased and launched. The processors are otherwise known as the second generation Core series and have high processing capabilities, in addition to better integrated graphics.
Still, said built-in graphics aren’t even close to what discrete solutions form AMD and NVIDIA can do, this being the reason why Toshiba’s newest dynabook 3D notebook is equipped with such a GPU. The device is a mobile personal computer powered by the Core i7-2630QM, a quad-core mobile CPU with a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz. All heavy video tasks are handled by the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M, whose memory is of 1 GB.
These two, along with the memory amount of up to 8 GB DDR3, are the main elements that make the dynabook T551 the mighty 3D laptop it is, besides the obligatory 3D screen and glasses of course. That said, the size of the 120 Hz panel is of 15.6 inches and its native resolution is of 1,366 x 768 pixels (HD). Additionally, Toshiba threw in a hard disk drive whose capacity is of 750 GB, plus a Blu-ray drive, for optical storage and multimedia playback.
Other specifications include the predictable Gigabit Ethernet, an USB 3.0 ports, 802.11n WiFi, a webcam and the HDMI output, which enables streaming to auxiliary monitors or 3D HDTVs. Finally, the Toshiba Dynabook T551 will be loaded with the Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit operating system. Japanese stores should begin to sell this particular machine starting in February, at a price that has not yet been given.

Anyone who thought that the demand for 3D laptops would fade after a short time could need to rethink that idea for Toshiba have turn out to be the newest manufacturer to bring out a 3D capable laptop the T551..The T551 is the newest machine to benefit from the new Sandy Bridge or second gen Core range of central processing units and needless to say in order to supply 3D high quality images the laptops integrated graphics would have to be improved too the addition of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M really should take care of that nicely..With a 15.6 inch high definition with 1 366 x 768 pixels resolution display this is the standard size screen for laptops so no surprises there the machine will likely be running Microsoft Windows 7 House Premium 64 bit operating system. Nevertheless bear in mind not to forget to pick up some extra 3D glasses as your Pals wont be able to enjoy the 3D effect without them..Theres no word on pricing or availability at the moment even though the Toshiba Dynabook T551 is likely to be released in Japan very first of all.
