Acer Announces First NVIDIA Ion2-Based Netbook

MojoKid writes "Acer has just taken the wraps off the new Acer Aspire One 532G netbook at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The machine is the first netbook with dedicated next-generation NVIDIA ION 2 graphics acceleration. The new Aspire One is also enabled with NVIDIA's recently announced Optimus technology to balance multimedia performance when needed, along with battery life savings, seamlessly switching to integrated Intel Atom/Pinetrail graphics when it's not required. Word is Ion 2 is going to be outfitted with twice the number of shaders for even more graphics horsepower as well."

PLEASE get rid of the keyboard, and put a high-end touch screen in it's place, removing the existing hinged screen. It'd make it under .6" thick I'd think and it'd be a nice little powerhouse! Not to mention the awesome applications and interaction that could take place on a correctly done touch screen interface, in this form factor with wifi, bluetooth, and 3G. It's what the iPad should have been and it'd kick it's butt. I'll just keep waiting until this happens. I see no reason to get a netbook in it's current form. If I wanted all that I'd just buy a laptop and get a lot more for my money.
