Also known as the Satellite A665 in Europe, the TX/98MBL is a 15.6-inch laptop with 3D Blu-ray playing compatibility. There may be few 3D Blu-rays out there at the moment to watch, but Toshiba’s putting the hardware up first.

The display is a 15.6-inch TruBrite LED-backlit panel with a 1366 x 768 resolution, running on an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTS 350M graphics card. There’s up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 500GB HDD choices on offer.

That Blu-ray disc drive is capable of burning, and in regards to other areas of the laptop there’s also Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3x USB ports, 1x eSATA/USB port, HDMI and Ethernet ports, and a multi-card reader slot. A 1.3MP webcam and Harman Kardon stereo speakers round the multimedia aspects off nicely for the Windows 7 Home laptop.

It may be a while until some 3D Blu-rays that you actually want to spend money on become available, but Toshiba’s taken the liberty of pre-installing some 3D content already. It’s not known whether a pair of active shutter glasses will be included for the NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, but I imagine so.
