Yes it looks like Lenovo is now going 3D to follow suit of the other companies that have already gone that way. The new IdeaPad Y560d uses both SSDs and regular HDDs is what they call Enhanced Experience RapidDrive Technology for faster everything basically. This 3D laptop comes with up to 8gigs of ram and up to 750gb storage and it’s powered by an Intel Corei7 with an ATI HD5730 graphics chip. Pricing starts at $1199.99 and it’s 15.6 inches in size for the screen, and of course it comes with 3D glasses.

“Fun is a notebook that brings multimedia to life—and the IdeaPad Y560d does this in a dramatic fashion with a truly unique 3D viewing experience,” said Dion Weisler, vice president, business operations, Lenovo. “While 3D technology has been around for ages, it has not been readily accessible to consumers within the home. Lenovo is helping bridge this gap by delivering consumers a 3D experience on a familiar PC platform that can be viewed and enjoyed when and where they want.”

The Y560d will be available with JBL-designed speakers and Dolby Home Theater surround sound – perfect for enjoying music and movies.
