Mini desktop with Nvidia Ion Platform
There has been a lot of talk about Nvidia’s Ion platform and now finally a few sites have been able to get there hands on one. PC World recently took delivery of a mini desktop equipped with Nvidia’s Ion platform.
The palm size desktop features a Seagate Momentus 200GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, and a host of I/O ports, along with a 1.6-GHz Intel Z330 Atom CPU and an nVidia GeForce 9400M graphics processor.
The cool thing about this is that it allows you to play games and watch movies at 1080p. Now if you’re not excited then try using a netbook or a mac mini to watch and play games at HD res, yep its like running todays games on your old 486DX4100 and 14″ VGA monitor.
We are expected to see the first desktops and netbooks equipped with the platform early June and Nvidia has said it will cost about $50 – $100 more to a standard 945GM/E configuration.
