Lenovo S12 the first Nvidia Ion-powered netbook...probably

John Hermann:

Pricing starts at $449, and the S12 goes on sale in July. Ion, however, won't make its way to production units until an unspecified "late summer" date, and it'll cost a $50 premium over the standard, Intel-based solution.

More importantly, where does this fall on the Hackintosh compatibility chart?

"Update: Argh! Lenovo has been in touch to tell us the European version of the S12 will not have the option of Nvidia Ion graphics. Negating the whole point of the thing. The Ion-less S12 will retail in the UK for £349." from http://crave.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39029450,49302360,00.htm

WTF is the point of that? I'll be getting a US one and a power adapter, then.
