Samsung to Ship First Ion Netbook in July
Posted 07/01/09 at 06:59:13 PM by Paul Lilly
It looks as though all those early jitters notebook vendors had surrounding Nvidia's Ion platform have started to subside, as yet another vendor confirmed plans to build a netbook based around Nvidia's Ion chipset.
This time it's Samsung who's jumping on board, following the announcement of Lenovo's IdeaPad S12 due out in August, the first Ion-based netbook announced from a major PC maker. But while Samsung wasn't the first to announce a netbook with Nvidia graphics, Netbook Choice reports Samsung's N510 is due this month.
A full spec sheet hasn't yet been made available, but in addition to the Ion platform, look for the 11.6-inch N510 to sport an Intel N280 Atom processor (1.66GHz), a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of memory, WiFi, and a webcam.
No word yet on price.

Netbook is a bit of stretch...

Anything over 11 inch diagonal pushes the "netbook" term a bit too far. I want to seen an Ion packed into a 10" netbook like the Asus 1005.
