The Nvidia Ion train seems to have left the station and second on the notebook stop (Lenovo’s S12 was the first) is Samsung. Though details are slim, Nvidia confirmed this morning that the company is working with Samsung to bring an 11.6-inch notebook to market with its Ion platform. Though Nvidia would not confirm the specs, Netbook Italia is reporting that the laptop is called the N510 and packs a 1.66 GHz N280 processor along with Nvidia’s GeForce 9400M graphics. It will also feature 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3-in-1 card reader, and a 6-cell battery. We will be digging up more details on the N510 including U.S. availability. Stay tuned.

    Those specs sound perfect so far, but…. It needs a screen that is NOT glossy, a large trackpad with two buttons below, and possibly HDMI output. The major question will likely be whether the 9400M might drain too much battery life. I’m glad to see Samsung working on this model, although Nvidia should prepare to offer better legacy driver support by cooperating with developers more (as the Intel graphics team has done).

    I have a Samsung x460 notebook (not netbook). Awesome machine for the price.
