Lenovo has launched the Y560d 3D laptop in the US with prices starting at $1,499
Based on the TriDef 3D technology, the Ideapad Y560d uses a combination of polarised glasses, screen coating on the built-in 15.6-inch display and a software solution to deliver the impression of 3D visuals to 2D content. This differs from Nvidia's 3D Vision system which uses active LCD shutters on a special pair of glasses.

Other than the 3D display, the Y560d $1,499 entry model is equipped with a 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730, 4GB of DDR RAM, 500GB HD , DVD writer and Windows 7 Home Premium 64.
