The first 3D movies were launched just several months ago, but this display mode had already become popular enough that enthusiasts are on the lookout for every solution capable of converting 2D into 3D, not to mention content that is already encoded in this format. This, of course, comes in addition to all the 3D-ready displays that have shown up until now. One of the more well-known solutions is the NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, which can convert hundreds of games and media files. AVADirect just issued a press release meant to reveal that US soil will soon welcome a pair of laptops that can be used for such things.

The ASUS G51JX-3D is one of the duo and has a configuration centered around the Intel Core i7-720QM central processing unit. This CPU is backed up by a solid 6GB of DDR3 memory. Furthermore, the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M discrete GPU is present, which has 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM and unrestricted control over the 15.6-inch HD display.

The Clevo W860CU 3D is the second mobile PC that AVADirect has on hand. It features the same screen size as the one from ASUS but its graphics card is the GeForce GTX 285M, also with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. At the heart of the machine lies an Intel CPU, either a Core i5 or Core i7. Other than that, end-users actually have full reign over what their laptop is outfitted with, custom paint being the least of them. For example, enthusiasts can opt for solid state drives and up to 8GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM. Needless to say, the product, like the G51JX-3D, comes bundled with the 3D Vision Kit and is compatible with any 3D Vision-ready desktop projectors and monitors.

"Thanks to this impressive 3D technology, and our commitment to innovation, we are able to offer our customers the ultimate mobile 3D experience," says Misha Troshin, CMO and Co-Owner of AVADirect.

The ASUS G51JX-3D is priced at roughly $1,600, whereas the Clevo W860CU 3D starts around $1800.
