The weirdest laptop at CES 2024 is trying to peddle a feature that no one wants

Acer Predator Helios 300 on desk.

Real talk: 3D shouldn’t be a thing. Well, outside of the actual three-dimensional space we all exist in. When it comes to 3D viewing/gaming experiences in the tech space, I’ve got about as much enthusiasm for this gimmick as being stuck in a lift with a dozen tarantulas and Pennywise. 

To completely contradict my previous sentence, I’ve actually bought quite a few pieces of 3D kit over the years. Yes, I’m clearly a contrary buffoon. I vaguely remember owning a 3D TV back around 2016. Gun to my head, I’m (semi) sure it was the LG OLED E6. The precisely one good experience I had with the set in terms of 3D? Watching the surprisingly brilliant 3D transfer of Jurassic Park on Blu-ray. Then again, that’s my favorite movie of all time, so perhaps I wasn’t going in with the most unbiased of eyes.
