ION = 9400m Samsung N510 isn't better than Asus 1201n. The Asus is better thanks to the dual core atom!! And you can unlock the ION LE to a full ION.

I agree with Markus. This netbook is powered by ION chipset, so by default comes with Nvidia GeForce 9400M. But this is full ION with DX10, as opposed to ION LE (light edition), DX9 only, found in some Samsung N510's.

"Samsung N510 netbook boasts superior Nvidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics compared to Lenovo IdeaPad S12 and the Eee PC 1201N." Maybe I'm stupied, but I thought all ION boast GF 9400M. Then what's in 1201N??
