ASUS G51J 3D Ups the 3D Laptop Game

A few weeks back, Acer brought us what it hyped as the world’s first 3D laptop with the 5738DG. Now Acer has just gotten a little competition from ASUS.

The new G51J 3D makes use of  NVIDIA 3D Vision, which works with roughly 400 games, blowing up your pupils with engaging 3D action–or “adrenaline-pumping, edge-of-your-seat visuals”, as the official word from ASUS promises. Audio keeps up with that flowing adrenaline by way of EAX Advanced HD 4.0 3D audio technology and CMSS surround sound. Some games that work with the NVIDIA tech include Resident Evil 5, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

The system uses a 120 Hz 15.6-inch screen and active shutter glasses coupled with a wide-range infrared emitter to create the 3D effect. As far as its basic specs, the G51J 3D packs an Intel Core i7 processor, 64-bit Windows 7 ,  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with 1GB DDR3 video memory, and Altec Lansing speakers. It’ll hit stores soon with a price starting at $1,700. [via Engadget and Good Gear Guide]
