ASRock Ion-powered netbook
Computer maker ASRock's Multibook G22 portable PC has been spotted ahead of any official announcement, and it sports a 12.1-inch with 1366x768 resolution and, more significantly, NVIDIA's Ion chipset. The feature gives it full HD video acceleration as well as much faster 3D for mild gaming. Aside from the Ion chipset, the G22 is also unique among netbooks in sporting a 320GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM, with support up to 4GB. There is also an HDMI output, again courtesy of Ion.
Processing power is also stronger through a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom. A multi-touchpad is present, while a DVD burner is standard fare. Otherwise, there is Draft-N Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, gigabit Ethernet support and three USB 2.0 ports. A VGA output, 10-in-1 card reader, audio connections and an Ethernet port round out the connections. A 1.3-megapixel camera is built into the screen's bezel.
Without the six-cell, 4,400mAh lithium-ion battery, the G22 weighs 3.3lbs. No pricing or release dates for the ASRock G22 are yet known. [via Blogeee]
