It has been months since Lenovo announced that its IdeaPad S12 would be the first netbook (or borderline notebook) with Nvidia’s Ion, but it has since been MIA. Lenovo says, the system will now ship during the Windows 7 timeframe.
NVIDIA’s Ion platform is pretty snazzy, welding an Atom and a 9400M graphics chip (the same found in Macbooks, fanboys) to handle high def content with ease. Samsung’s N510 is an 11.6-inch netbook built on this platform, making its way to the U.S. next month.
