First Netbook With Nvidia Ion: Lenovo S12


Just to refresh, Nvidia’s Ion platform is essentially Intel’s Atom processor combined with the decent Nvidia 9400m graphics unit. It aims to provide smooth 1080p video decoding, including accelerated h.264 playblack, Blu-ray playback and moderate gaming capabilities. It is the same technology that launched with the Acer’s Aspire Revo nettop and Zotac main board.

Since most of the existing netbooks can’t handle multimedia at 720p or higher and cannot run any of the latest 3D gaming titles, Lenovo IdeaPad S12 is truly a revolution. Check out all the specs and the gallery after the break…

Some of the specs including a 12 inches display with 1280 x 800 resolution, ability to play back 1080p content (only on an external screen via the HDMI output), 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home, a 4-in-one card reader and a 1.3 megapixel webcam.
Other notables: an Express Card slot 3G expandability, 3 USB 2.0 ports, a multitouch trackpad, HDMI port with the Ion model, a full-size keyboard, and Lenovo’s Quick Start, VeriFace, and OneKey Rescue System for making backups.

The Lenovo Ideapad S12 will be avalible on August, pricing starts at $499.
