Acer’s newly unveiled Aspire One 532G netbook is one of the first 10 inch netbooks with NVIDIA ION 2 graphics. In looks this device is virtually identical to the standard Aspire One 532H.
NVIDIA is yet to officially announce its ION 2 platform. And while Acer doesn’t confirm that Aspire One 532G uses ION 2, it does mention a ‘next-generation NVIDIA ION GPU with dedicated 512MB memory’.
NVIDIA’s ION 2 platform enables 1080p HD video playback on netbooks powered by Intel’s Pine Trail Atom processors. What ION 2 does is to pair a switchable graphics card with Atom N450 chipset.
There are still no additional details about the Aspire One 532G. But the press release mentions that the netbook will be able to handle 720p HD video playback on the display itself and 1080p playback through an HDMI port.
