That got many people wondering what that really meant. /p pOne complaint about Netbooks is thatnbsp;most can't even play a fullscreen YouTube video at full speed, let alone 1080p video (on an external display) or video games. Clearly, NVIDIA could help there. The thing is, NVIDIA does not need to build a new product to enter that space. Look at the GeForce 9400M in the a href="http://www.apple.com/macbookair/"Macbook Air/a. Its thermal dissipation and power consumption *could* make it eligible for a Nettop. Heck,nbsp;itnbsp;mightnbsp;even be smaller thannbsp;competing two-chips solutions./p pNow, there's thenbsp;matter of pricing, but there arenbsp;ways to find the correct combination of price amp; performance like "A href="http://www.edn.com/blog/1480000148/post/1240018324.html"binning/A", or work out a volume deal. Ifnbsp;everything elsenbsp;fails, Moore's law will cut the price by half soon enough.Technologically, there's little that prevents someone from building a Nettop with a GeForce 9400M.nbsp; /p pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/nvidia_could_enter_the_netbook_market_today_if_they_wanted_to.html"NVIDIA Could Enter the Netbook Market Today if They Wanted To/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081203114508" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081203114508?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081203114508" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081203114508amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fnvidia_could_enter_the_netbook_market_today_if_they_wanted_to.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/EwnNGtXKQz-yQNVx_rbnjV50YwU/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/EwnNGtXKQz-yQNVx_rbnjV50YwU/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=zTutLQaZ"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=1gf6epgt"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=1gf6epgt" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=4EX96m1y"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=0VteSR9T"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=0VteSR9T" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=NsadxCQS"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=NsadxCQS" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/U67WFn2eDwA" height="1" width="1"/
