3D is prominently in the name, but it doesn't seem to have any 3D features. Is there anything 3D to this guy?

Acer did the same thing a while back, it is because of the "3D" finish the lid has. They have an engraved pattern on one level, then a clear plastic coating with more transparent patterns at higher levels. It looks neat, actually, but misleading if you do not know what they are talking about.

Thanks for the confirmation- I figured it had to be something misleading like that. It's even in the model number!
