Toshiba : has unveiled its latest 3D-toting laptops, the Toshiba P770 and P775, both of which pack in 3D webcams, and the Satellite L-Series with 3D playback capabilities.

Does the inclusion of 3D webcams speak of 3D Skype video chats to come? Its a scary but unsurprising prospect.

Skype does not yet support 3D webcams, but TechRadar has put a call in to Skype today, following Toshibas latest laptop announcements, to find out how soon we might expect to see such a feature supported on the popular VoIP service.

Meanwhile, the 3D tech in the new Toshiba L and P series laptops is pretty standard stuff, with pricing expected to be announced soon.

3D or not 3D, that is the question :

Toshibas all new Satellite P-series laptops are top of the range affairs, available intwo screen sizes: the Satellite P755 and P759 are 15.6-inch laptops, while the Satellite P770 and Satellite P775, feature slightly larger 17.3-inch screens.

As well as the P-Series laptops, Toshiba has unveiled its new Satellite L-series notebooks today.

These feature 2D-to-3D image conversion and external 3D playback, with integrated Onkyo speakers to "deliver immersive sound to match stunning visuals".

Premium

"Available in a choice of three screen sizes and a range of configurations, each model features impressive hardware specifications, including the latest Intel or AMD processors, dedicated Nvidia graphics on selected models, as well as a selection of premium 3D features," continues Toshs release.

Toshiba will let us know more about UK pricing for the new Satellite L-series and P-series, both of which will be available from late April 2011.

Consumers who want a top-performing notebook should definitely consider the Sony VAIO AW Series VGN-AW450F/H Notebook PC. This sleek, high-quality, multimedia performer is great for watching Blu-Ray movies or playing the latest games. Like many other VAIO series notebooks, this model is loaded with useful features and plenty of room for upgrades. Unfortunately, the large dimensions and short battery life makes this notebook a better performer than traveler. If you need a notebook primarily for stationary use in home or office, then the Sony VGN-AW450FH is one to consider.

At 17.2" x 1.45" x 11.4" and 8.2 pounds, this notebook is a little too bulky for on-the-go functionality. Battery life is also a much less than average, coming in at only two and a half hours. The notebooks size and battery faults are certainly the negatives about this product. On the plus side, the Sony VAIO AW Series VGN-AW450FH is loaded with impressive features and performance capabilities. If you are a casual gamer or entertainment lover, then this may be the one for you.

Features

Considering the numerous features of the Sony VAIO VGN-AW450FH notebook, this is one of the better-equipped models for the price. It comes pre-loaded on 320GB SATA hard drive with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, as well as trial versions of Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office. This 18.4" notebook features an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P7450, supported by 4GB DDR2 RAM (8GB max) and a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics chipset (512MB memory). And with other great enhancements such as stereo Bluetooth, integrated WiFi a/b/g/n, and a Blu-Ray/DVD/CD combo drive, this model is hard to compete with for the price.
Ergonomics

Because of the bulkiness of this laptop, it is unlikely that you can take it on-the-go with the confidence that comes with an ultraportable or mid-sized notebook. This model best suits the needs of the casual gamer or home entertainer, whether it is for playing the latest video games or connecting the notebook to an HDTV via the HDMI to watch your favorite Blu-Ray movies. In addition to being bulky, another strike against this model is its poor battery performance. With less than 3 hours of operating time, users must stay aware of the battery life- and stay near an electrical outlet to ensure continual usage.
SummaryIf you are looking for Sony quality, then expect a Sony price, but overall if you want the best performance and features in a notebook then consider the Sony VAIO AW Series VGN-AW450FH Notebook PC. Consumers looking for ultraportable laptops or models with long battery life should consider a different product- quite frankly, the VGN-AW450FH suffers in the areas of portability and battery life. But if you are a casual gamer or home entertainment fanatic, then by all means this may be the notebook for you.

Pros

• Very functional and compatible with HDMI, Bluetooth, and more
• Perfect for consumers who want more power than portability
• Features Blu-Ray/DVD/CD drive, 320GB hard drive, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics
• Great multimedia performance for games and HD video

Cons

• Poor battery life and bulky notebook size disappoints somewhat
