Looks like MSI also got their own 3D capable laptop, the MSI FR600-3D, and is selling it at under Php40k which makes it the cheapest 3D laptop around.

MSI FR600-3D
15.6″ 3D LCD display @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel Core i5-430 @ 2.26GHz (Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz)
2GB DDR3 RAM
Intel HD Graphics
500GB SATA HDD
Super-Multi DVD Drive
HD webcam
GigaBit LAN
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
HDMI port
2 x USB 2.0 ports
eSATA port (USB 2.0 combo)
6-cell Li-ion battery
Windows 7 Premium

The specs actually seemed pretty basic and might not be fit for hard core gaming so I’m assuming the 3D display is geared towards watching 3D movies or videos.

The package comes with a single 3D glasses and another clip-on 3D glasses. There’s a software bundle (Roxio Cineplayer) that can transfer 2D videos to 3D movies when viewed with the 3D glasses.

The unit has been revealed as early as 4th quarter of last year but has only arrive in local stores recently with a suggested retail price of Php39,990.

Can you please specify the price in US dollars? I am quite interested in this laptop.

yan na ba ung actual system na may 3D? they should have worked on the aesthetics first before adding in advanced features
i guess thats why its one of the most cheapest among 3D capable laptops

I wonder how the Intel Graphics performs on this 3D laptop. I wish there is a Windows Performance Index.

Why would you need 3D on laptops?

Edwin C · 15 years ago

I’m not salivating for anything 3D.

Michael Pancho · 15 years ago

It’s a nice laptop for hardcore gamers. I especially like the packaged 3D glasses. It’s sad that MSI will release another version of this w/in 2-3 months, which makes this particular product not so special anymore.

well just an advice to you guys, esp to the ones who are interested in buying this laptop.

Dont expect to much in the high def video frequencies and gaming. Its bcoz of the lack of a graphics card, instead they just put in an intel hd graphics which is like a grapuics card but its already stored in the processor itself. And thats why the price is so unreal.. You’ll have a good laptop but not a good 3D laptop =))

And we need 3D laptop because…

intel hd? what a shame…
even a low-end, integrated GPU from AMD or Nvidia can beat that weakling GPU.

i hope that every manufacturer should ditch the use of Intel HD for those high-end laptops. High-end laptops do not deserve to have such weak GPU like Intel HD. Yes,Intel HD does not guzzle much power but it guzzles the patience of a user.

Madz · 15 years ago

Ben · 15 years ago

if it’s around 40k then it really is a good find.

Nicco · 15 years ago

where can i buy this laptop?

Calvin · 15 years ago

i agree with Ethan… integrated graphics on a 3D laptop? baka nga Full HD video pa lang mahirapan na what more sa mga higher frequency na kelangan ng mga 3D videos.

adam · 15 years ago

Wah below 40K pero 10 pesos nalang 40K na. Mas ok kung mag anti na lang muna na bumaba ang price kesa bumili kagad.

leeto · 15 years ago

I agree with latin, bakit opa natin pahihirapan sarili natin at tayo lang mag isa ang makanood ng movies.

Ethan Tremblay · 15 years ago

the specs are nice except for the graphics card.. what would an Intel HD graphics can do in 3D viewing? This laptop is definitely for gaming but with that video card?? nah… I guess that’s the reason why the price is way too cheap for a 3d laptop =))

…..I meant to say “electronic shutter glasses like those used in viewing 3D content from Blu-ray movies and PS3 games on a 3D-LED monitor”.

kaboom · 15 years ago

These laptops can also be set in 2D mode. the 3D effect is mostly for certain movies and games.

Also, that MSI laptop utilizes the polarized version of 3D instead of electronic shutter glasses used in newer Blu-ray players and PS3, hence the lower price.

I do not understand why people would buy a 3D laptop.. just to develop later some eye stress problem

Lezuric · 15 years ago

csseyah · 15 years ago

Jonaflormicfren · 15 years ago

The 3d is becoming more in demand because of the features that it has in display. I hope that the price will be more affordable. http://iloveyou-mydear.blogspot.com/
