The first few notebooks to get NVIDIA's next-generation ION graphics will be the Asus Eee PC 1201PN and Acer Aspire One 532g netbook. Neither of them are available for purchase in the US yet, but French retailer Fnac has uploaded their product listings. While Aspire One 532g is expected to start shipping on May 14th, the Eee PC 1201PN should be available in France by May 1st.
The Eee PC 1201PN is a 12.1 inch notebook with an Intel Atom N450 processor and NVIDIA's ION graphics. Other specifications include 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 and an HDMI port. The notebook will ship with a 6-cell battery rated at 5600mAh. The laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium. It will sell for about 499 Euros or about $676 in France.
The Aspire One 532g has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor. This model also features NVIDIA ION albeit in a less capable form. That said, the Aspire One 532g will still be able to handle HD video playback and 3D graphics. But by using a less capable version of ION Acer will be able to reduce the prices.
Other specifications include a 10.1 inch display with 1024 x 600 pixels, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Windows 7 Starter Edition. No Bluetooth or HDMI. The netbook will ship with a 6-cell battery rated at 4400mAh. It will sell for 369 Euros or about $500.
