Lenovo and Tobii made 20 of the laptops and plans to demonstrate them at the CeBIT trade Technology Show in Hanover, Germany, on Tuesday.
Tobii current, self-contained eye trackers cost tens of thousands of dollars, but Barclay said the cost of adding consumer-level eye tracking commercial notebook can be much smaller.
