LG will release its first 3D notebook next month.

Despite admitting there's a "dearth" of 3D content, LG has nonetheless equipped the laptop with a 3D Blu-ray drive, though since it's only optional, buyers of lesser models will have to make do with the R590's bundled 2D-to-3D conversion software from TriDef.

There's no word yet on pricing. ®
