Nvidia and Lenovo today introduced a low-cost, small laptop that delivers up to 10 time’s faster graphics performance than today’s small laptops. Featuring the Nvidia Ion graphics processor, the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 offers improved application support while still providing long battery life thanks to its energy efficient design. Lenovo used Nvidia Ion’s revolutionary design to create a thin, lightweight, low-power laptop with a 12-inch screen and improved application compatibility. The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 features a full-sized keyboard and has the graphics horsepower to support high definition media and many PC games which will not run on most low-cost small PCs.

Nvidia Ion enables these capabilities with the industry’s best graphics performance for low-power CPUs. The Nvidia Ion graphics processor transforms small, low-power PCs into fully capable systems with up to 10x the graphics performance of basic integrated graphics.The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 with the NVIDIA ION graphics processor is expected to be available later this summer.
