Acer's New Gaming Laptop With A 3D Screen Is Not Just A Gimmick

screenrant.com:

Acer's Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition gaming laptop comes with a glasses-free stereoscopic 3D display. Alongside the unique new laptop, Acer also unveiled a slew of other notebooks, gaming laptops, and 2-in-1s, including the new Acer Spin convertibles, the Predator Triton 300 SE, new TraveMate business laptops, new Chromebook models, Nitro gaming monitors, and more. The devices were announced at the company's latest Next@Acer event which typically sees the unveiling of new products that are then rolled out globally over the next few weeks and months.

The availability of 3D in home gadgets is nothing new, although most devices with 3D displays have failed to gain popularity with consumers. The 3D TV boom of the 2000s is the most memorable, if only because of its spectacular failure, despite being once heralded as the next big thing in technology. 3D was cool for a very short period of time, and the period is largely remembered for the inconvenience of wearing cheap plastic glasses to experience the full effect. The Nintendo 3DS was one of the first successful consumer devices with a stereoscopic 3D display, and the new Acer Predator Helios now aims to do something similar, albeit in a more technologically advanced avatar.

Other hardware features include up to 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5 4800 MHz RAM, up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage and liquid metal cooling. However, the pièce de résistance of the new laptop is its 15.6 inch IPS UHD (3840 x 2160)
