Yeah, well, over a year ago Ion 1 was announced, and I said I'd wait for Ion to do gaming, multimedia, and rendering work with Expression Studio.

I waited a year until November of this year to see Ion arrive.

I'm tempted to see Ion 2's notes and wait again, but you know what?

It'll probably be another six months at the minimum, and even Atom 330 doesn't fully drive Ion 1's capabilities, so it's not like N450 will, either.

My recommendation?

Grab yourself a 1201n and smile.]]>Dec 31st 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/

I gave that to my daughter. Now I want another one and all I really want is: light weight, bigger screen, and longer battery life.

Most video I have is encoded at that resolution(720p)& I am not going to encode down to a lower resolution so that I can watch it at the native resolution of the netbook. I just want to get the file from my server and take it with me on the go. Also, I like the Aero interface & that thing barely keeps up with it with a few windows open. Those graphic chipsets were created for a different era. I am a coder but I like a pretty & functional UI. I like stuff running smooth. That thing is a piece of junk & most consumers deserve something better IMHO.]]>Dec 31st 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/I am sure they will have Broadcom video decode chip as an addon option.

This is for people who just want to type and browse on the go.

Also, in the article it says the video card is a 1350, it looks like the numbers got switched around.]]>Dec 31st 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/Jan 1st 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/Jan 1st 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/Jan 2nd 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/acer-aspire-one-ao532h-joins-the-pine-trail-party-with-a-299-pr/Jan 3rd 2010 1:35PM
