Yesterday we reported that Lenovo is set to release the IdeaPad S20, its new 12-inch netbook powered by an Atom N280.

A day later and the DigiTimes has a very interesting article that suggests Lenovo’s new machines could become some of the first to utilize nVidia’s Ion platform. This information comes via reports in the Chinese-language Commercial Times.

What this would mean is that the netbooks (and notebooks) would still use Intel’s Atom technology but would combined it with the nVidia GeForce 9400M for improved graphics.
