NVIDIA Showcases 21 Ion-Based Products

By the end of the year, 40 products with the NVIDIA Ion platform on board are expected to appear on the market. This is a very serious amount, especially considering that so far only the Acer Aspire Revo nettop has reached the national market . Nevertheless, the Computex exhibition and more than two dozen products based on NVIDIA Ion, presented there, fully justify the reality of the tasks.

In addition to the already well-known Lenovo S12 netbook, you should pay attention to the ASUS C2N7A-I motherboard and the Eee Top ET2002 all-in-one, the iHTPC multimedia PC from Colorful and the new ECS desktop PC, the MSI Windtop AE201 nettop and a number of other products.
