NetbookReviews have a before-and-after comparison of the difference this can make on a Lenovo Ideapad S12 with ION graphics. Streaming an HD show from Hulu is silky-smooth with the ION taking over from the small CPU, and they even manage to play a game of Crysis – something my desktop still struggles with.
