A contender for one of my personal favorite CES displays, the Asus ProArt Studiobook 16 3D is like a 3DS for grown ups. Asus’ ProArt Studiobook creator laptop line isn’t new, but this one integrates a glasses-less 3D screen that I wish I could more accurately depict here. You have to see it in person to get the 3D effect, but despite being a nonbeliever at first… I have to admit that the thing just works. I saw it in a demo where I also got to hold a 3D pen that let me pick objects up and manipulate them in 3D space, and the result wasn’t too dissimilar to my time on my personal Meta Quest 2. Only, this time, I didn’t have to wear a bulky headset the whole time I was using the laptop.

The 3D doesn’t require you to sit in one particular spot for it to take effect, thanks to clever use of the webcam, and you can adjust the intensity of the effect with a slider, right down to making the display 2D. Disney+ better make 3D versions of the Avatar movies available soon, because displays like this make watching those films at home easy. -Michelle Ehrhardt
