When the Ion platform got shoehorned onto the standard atom netbook, it sought to address a major shortcoming of netbooks- namely graphics capabilities.

If you have waited it out, there a few good deals to be had right now on netbooks. The downside is that it might not make it under the Christmas tree, but hey, patience should be rewarded with a few bucks off. I am excited about the Acer Aspire AOD250-1584.

7. December 2009 | by Jonas
Once in a while, a manufacturer actually gets a product right. The Acer 1410, which uses a CULV processor, provides the extra processing power that many users are after when they want their netbook to perform more like an ultraportable. All of this in a 3 pound package is an alluring deal with an 11.6″ [...]

According to a recent DigiTimes report, Acer is already planning on releasing a Chrome OS based netbook sometime during the second half of 2010.
