Although Acer is all set to unveil the first NVIDIA Ion powered nettop PC, the Acer AspireRevo, netbooks with this technology is still a speculation.While rumors have been circulating for a while about NVIDIA Ion packed netbooks with nothing concrete, pocket-lint.com has reported that a number of companies are getting ready to announce NVIDIA Ion powered netbooks as early as June and some of them are even all set to release these netbooks by July. However there was no indication of which companies will make the announcement and according to their source, “confirmed that there will be some big announcements from ‘key’ players at Computex, the annual PC trade show in Taipei at the beginning of June.”
With this technology, along with the standard Intel Atom chip the netbooks will use the brand new graphics chip from NVIDIA called ION which will allow users to handle more challenging applications than ever before. With NVIDIA ION, playing games like Spore or Portal and viewing 1080p content will be possible in a netbook. You can even get your hands on applications like Cooliris and access Google Earth which is not feasible with any of the current netbooks.
