nice specs..but as expected price is WAYY out of budget computers range..same with every new emerging technology.guess someone has to be the early adopter
"up to 750BG HDD storage so users don't have to worry about running out of hard drive capacity when saving their favorite movies, music and games."
750GB isn't much space for 3D movies...I wonder why they refuse to offer the same 1TB drives everyone else has.
Actually anything new and improved will be overpriced, but what's up with that limited storage space. I agree w/KillerBug, if they are going to do this at least off 1 or 2 terabytes at the least. Anyways, if they think I'm going to sit there with dorky-looking shutter glasses on, they're friggin' nuts!
Limited storage space? 750GB is not that bad at all, it's higher than average for a notebook. You'd store a decent amount of movies on 750GB... the fact that they are 3D doesn't mean they take up more space than normal videos. Maybe you are talking about storing raw Blu-ray or something but I don't even see the point of that, esp. if you had a Blu-ray drive anyway.
750GB instead of 1TB was probably done purely for cost reasons anyway. 1TB 2.5-inch drives were only released less than a year ago and even the cheapest at retail now are quite a bit more expensive than lower capacities. The notebook is already expensive enough because of the processor, screen and glasses. Want more space? get a USB external drive to plug in... problem solved.
I wouldn't buy this laptop myself though for a couple of reasons... can't really afford to and just not that interested in 3D, at least not yet.
