There's been a fair amount of attention hovering around NVIDIA's ION this month, and for good reason. It's small, offers decent performance, and can deliver huge peripheral connectivity. We were able to spend some time with the ION earlier this month, putting it through various tests, such as gaming, HD playback and even Photoshop. Read on for all of our experiences.
