We talked up nVidia’s ION graphics solution for netbooks a while back — mainly because it gave a more robust graphics foundation to an already thin netbook platform. Where the Intel GMA integrated video fails, ION graphics gave netbooks a fighting chance for displaying better video resolutions, better gaming capabilities, high definition video, and (shock!) Continue reading nVidia ION 2 is Here: Next-Gen Graphics for your Netbook/Nettop To add fuel to a netbook-induced craze that has gripped the computer-buying public these holidays, hard drive manufacturer Seagate has released an ultra-thin 2.5-inch hard disk drive obviously targeted at netbooks and ultra-portables. Found this via NetbookChoice.com: Seagate has announced a new hard-disk drive that it claims is the world’s thinnest at 7mm. The Seagate Momentus Continue reading Seagate Momentus: World’s Thinnest 2.5 Hard Drive

We have all the details inside, only here at MacPCWiz. As nVidia’s FERMI is designed with super-computing in mind, nVidia is quick to point out that it is also targeting Apple’s Snow Leopard and Windows 7. We recently wrote about nVidia’s new ‘FERMI‘ technology for their next gen GPUs. It’s basically a GPU chip that can — in some cases — do CPU-type work and processes. Continue reading NVIDIA’s new ‘FERMI’ chip positioned for Macs, Windows 7 And still more joy for the AMD/ATI crowd as AMD announced an open-source based physics initiative with simulation technology and graphics mover Pixelux Entertainment. Geeksmack.net reports: NVIDIA has been buffing their PhysX capable GPU’s for quite a while now. And to AMD/ATI users despair, NVIDIA has has disabled PhysX for their software when the hardware is Continue reading AMD/ATI joins the Physics bandwagon In as far as the tug of war between nVidia and AMD for the GPU “king of the hill” title, it has been a close contest these past years. Currently, with AMD/ATI’s HD400o series now done and nVidia’s GT200 project all over as well, both are priming for their new releases. nVidia, in a bid to Continue reading nVidia hypes up their new FERMI architecture GPUs |

We’ve seen this one coming for a while, and today it’s official: Acer has overtaken Dell to become the world’s second-largest PC company, with market share behind only HP. According to both Gartner and IDC, the Taiwanese company’s shipments in the third quarter topped Dell. Hello over there at Austin! Michael Dell, did you see this one coming? To their defense though, Acer has certainly ramped up in its PC production along all lines — desktops, laptops, and netbooks — to make sure and prove to everybody that their leapfrogging over Dell is not a fluke. 
If there is one saving grace for the green guys of nVidia this season — their behinds have been kicked soundly by the red guys of AMD/ATI seemingly on all fronts — it is the relative success of nVidia ION. Technically ION is used to refer to a motherboard configuration by nVidia with an Intel Atom processor — specifically for netbooks. But what’s great about it is the graphics solution part — ION is DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3 capable, with a GPU based on the GeForce 9400M structure but apparently better performing than its mobile GPU forefather.
