NVIDIA ION 2 will benefit Netbooks too21:17 12/02/2010, Chris Guthrie, Netbook news, NVIDIA ION 2, Netbook Reviews
Nvidia is releasing a follow up to NVIDIA ION with Nvidia Optimus Technology built in. The major upgrade here being switchable graphics that are done on the fly. The benefit of this is that now you can play Crysis and watch HD Flash video like before, but when you're back to just composing emails and updating Facebook your battery life will be greatly improved. This is because the technology built in will be able to determine if the graphics can be rendered via the integrated GPU or if it will need to rely on the discrete Ion GPU.

At first this announcement didn't mention anything about Nvidia Optimus Technology coming to Netbooks so I ignored it, but I just read another official update from Nvidia announcing the technology is now making it's way to Netbooks as well. Hooray!
