Just by looking at the Mobii ION 230, you can tell it’s a netbook keen on standing out from the crowd. This desire extends through its internals, which rely on NVIDIA’s Ion platform to power an Atom N230 CPU, usually a nettop part, alongside an upgradeable 1GB of RAM and 160GB HDD. Hence, while battery life might take a comparative beating, graphical and processing ability should be appreciably superior to your run-of-the-mill netbook. Point of View promises flawless 1080p playback and DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0 support, with an HDMI-out if you don’t feel the 10.2-inch display at 1024x 600 resolution does those features justice. You’d be wrong to expect anything more than a slideshow in graphically intensive games, but it’s good to know the netbook market is getting a juiced-up option, and fret not, there’s a conservative black paintjob available too. European prices are expected around the €349 ($495) mark and availability should hit within the next few weeks.
