Toshiba Computer Systems, a division of Toshiba Europe GmbH, has announced its first laptop that provides gamers with a true 3D experience. The new Satellite A665 is ready to playback videos stored on a Blu-ray 3D Disc* on the internal display. The multimedia and gaming machine Satellite A665 will also come in a version without 3D capability, with both models being available during the third quarter of 2010 throughout Europe and the Middle East.

“Our new 3D enabled Satellite A665 allows gamers to become completely immersed into the exciting 3D environments of their games, most of which are already 3D-compatible,“ says Thomas Teckentrup, General Manager Product, Strategy and Development Division, Computer Systems Group EMEA. “Furthermore the Satellite A665 will be the industry’s first Blu-ray 3D ready laptop, allowing customers to playback Blu-ray 3D movies."

Powerful video and audio experience
Bundled with NVIDIA® 3D Vision™**, the Satellite A665 comes with a pair of 3D Vision™ active-shutter glasses coupled with a wide-range USB infra-red emitter to deliver stereoscopic images with clarity, brightness and outstanding depth-of-field. The laptop features a high-performance NVIDIA® 3D graphics processing unit and a 39.6cm (15.6“) TruBrite® HD 3D display with LED backlighting (120Hz). The Satellite A665 comes with Harman Kardon® stereo speakers and Dolby® Advanced Audio to complement the extraordinary optical experience with a voluminous, vibrant sound. The ‘Sleep and Music’ function allows customers to enjoy this sound experience by connecting MP3 players to the system – even when it’s switched off.

The new laptop will also be available without 3D capability featuring a 40.6cm (16.0'') LED backlit HD display. Both machines are characterised by a Metallic Precious Black finish with silver chrome accents on the LCD cover and inside. A textured pattern contrasts nicely with the metallic look, making fingerprints less visible. The matt black tile keyboard is backlit.
