However, Nvidia is known for their graphics processors. Therefore, don’t be surprised to see high quality pictures. You can also pull streams and watch video in 1080p.

A Netbook to run Streaming video? A Netbook to push that video to a larger screen? That’s impossible – Or maybe not. Nvidia Ion might have the solution for you.

We saw the ION at CES 2009 and were impressed with it’s small form factor. Now we’re seeing a new generation as the ION is entering into a Netbook. Speed and convenience with a low priced machine.

Todd Cochrane talks with Ken (last year Andy talked with Ken) over how the ION has changed and how it works not only in Netbooks, but can improve the usage so you can watch streaming content in higher resolutions.
