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.

Recently, Lenovo unveiled a new notebook called the IdeaPad Y560, which has 3D capability. This laptop features a Core i7 processor, a 15.6 inch screen and 1366 X 768 resolution for its display. Prices for the notebook start at $1200 as well.

However, you have to pay to get an upgrade if you want the Core i7. The IdeaPad Y560 actually has a Core i3 processor if you only get it at the starting price. At $1200, it also comes with Intel integrated graphics and a 250 GB hard drive but extra options such as the 3D panel, software and glasses are available too. If you choose to upgrade, you’ll get ATI Radeon HD5730 1 GB graphics and a 750 hard drive as well as the Core i7 processor. Thus, pursuing a full multimedia experience with this laptop definitely requires a huge investment of cash.

Furthermore, if you’re expecting to find a Blu-ray player and Nvidia Optimus technology in this notebook, you’ll be disappointed. Nevertheless, the IdeaPad Y560 is still a legitimate 3D laptop waiting for the right audience among consumers. Perhaps that could be you as well.
