Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y560D 3D Laptop Reviewed @ HotHardware

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560D is one of several 3-D capable notebooks that are available now. This model comes with an Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, 4GB of DDR3-1066 RAM, a 1366×768 LCD, an AMD Mobility Radeon 5730 with 1GB Dedicated GPU RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and an 8x DVD±RW/CD-RW optical drive. That is not too bad for a street price of $1,399. The real question is how are the 3-D capabilities, especially since this is an AMD graphics card. HotHardware has posted a review of this laptop, and answers the question.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y560D is an interesting system that initially caught our eye thanks to its 3D-capable display. 3D films and TVs have been declared hot ticket capabilities by the film industry and TV manufacturers, but this is the first 3D-capable notebook we’ve had in house. The Y560D isn’t the only 3D laptop on the market, but it’s priced with more of an eye towards mainstream consumers; most 3D notebooks to date have been aimed at the high-end/enthusiast market. At $1399 on sale the 560D isn’t cheap, but it’s a more affordable than most of the competition.
