I hope that the netbook market migrates to chipsets like these. Ion should be a standard; it would be best if all netbooks should be able to easily play video content that takes full advantage of whatever display they're using. I wouldn't want to watch standard-def films on a small screen.

Also I think it would be a shame if Atom and the other lower end processors were relegated to a small niche. It's not like the majority of computer users are serious gamers or run any sort of processor intensive applications. ]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 20th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/
Lenovo: ship the unit with Ubuntu before windoze 7 launches - please?]]>Aug 21st 2009 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 20th 2009 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/
Either way, the CULV platform is starting to look like a mighty tempting second place. And a lot cheaper with the Inspiron 11z that just started to ship. Gonna wait for reviews of that thing before I pull the plug, though, as the battery life sounds disappointing. Ion will be slower due to the Atom but the video processing is compelling. Still, I'm starting to realize with my WD HD box that I don't need fast video processing on a portable device since the quality of the WD solution is extremely good. I could just lug that to a friend's house or anyplace with a television and enjoy all my movies from a usb stick. I don't need to watch movies that often...]]>Aug 21st 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 20th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 21st 2009 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 21st 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/ Atom any day of the week.]]>Aug 20th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/Aug 21st 2009 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s12-with-nvidia-ion-on-hold-pending-windows-7-d/

Macs made sense back when "normal" laptops were around the same price.... now they're just overpriced goodies with a huge profit margin.
Also, if you don't have experience with Macs you might lose some time digging for programs and learning how to work with it, but that is not too hard (learning how to work with it that is).]]>Aug 22nd 2009 9:23AM
