We didn’t think ASUS wou ld let Acer be the usually one with the next-generation Ion netbook, did we? While erratic around ASUS’s CeBIT booth we couldn’t help though notice alittle new Ion 2 systems, including a 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201PN. With an matching chassis to the 1201N which you reviewed a couple of months behind, a 1201PN swaps out a Diamondville Atom for the new Hunger Route N450 processor and the dissimilar NVIDIA GPU. You couldn’t figure out most more from a complement properties, but a adjacent sign confirmed that Ion 2 would makeuseof NVIDIA’s Optimus to switch between a discrete and integrated GPU. Around the dilemma you also stumbled into which Eee Top 2010PNT you heard about awhile back, as well as only as rumored it packs a dual-core Atom D510 processor along the “subsequent era Ion.” Really more than anything we’re looking forward to contrast a HD opening as well as battery life of these new Ion systems, but until afterwards we’ll be stuck examination a video next of the 1201PN personification a 720p promo clip.
