Next gen ION equipped Acer 532g and Asus 1201PN spotted in Europe

We’re all looking for netbooks equipped with the new Nvidia ION to enter the market, as they are supposed to offer quite some graphic performances while not sacrificing battery life (thanks to the Optimus technology they will use).

Some of the most expected such new mini laptops are the 10 inch Acer 532g and the bigger 12 inch Asus EEE PC 1201PN. I’m not sure when will these be available in the US, but they’ve been already spotted in an online shop in France.

The Acer Asipre One 532g comes with the N450 processor, 1 GB of RAM and the low-version 8-Core ION (the one specially designed for these smaller laptops), with a price tag of 359 euros. It’s only available for pre-order for now and is expected to start shipping from the middle on May.

The same store has the 1201PN also, in a couple of different color options. This one is expected to start shipping even sooner, from May 1st . Will bring the same N450 processor, but 2 GB of RAM, bigger 320 GB storage space and the 16 cores Nvidia ION . All these for 499 euros.

These prices should be translated in around $400-$420 for the Acer and around $550 for the Asus when they’ll land in the US. However, these are just speculations for now, but more info will surely be available on the subject during the next days.
