No one's real happy with 3-D glasses, but those who want to see such special effects without weird specs will be happy to learn Toshiba's bringing out a 3-D glasses-free laptop, the Qosmio F750 3D, in August in Britain. Cost is estimated at a hefty $2,100 for the 15.6-inch laptop.

The F750 will use an Intel Core i7 processor, have a 640-gigabyte hard drie and come with 6 GB of DDR3 memory. It also includes Harman Kardon stereo speakers and Dolby Advanced Audio HDMI-CEC.

How will it work? Well, for starters it will work just for one person at a time; Engadget, which tested it out, say that's a "major downside of the glasses free tech employed here. You won't be able to watch a 3D movie with your buddy on a flight, for example, but that's the price you pay for not having to wear funny specs."

Here's how Toshiba UK, which made the announcement, explains the technology:

U.S. pricing and availability of the Qosmio F750 3D has yet to be announced.
