Swordfish Net 102 Dual Processor Netbook Announced Two Intel Atom Processors, 2GB RAM, 160GB 1.3MP Camera; Available for $449 from Haleron

I don t know why but I always had a problem with netbooks. They were way
too small to properly enjoy movies or even video games, the keyboard was
almost impossible to use, not to mention the lack of a touchscreen or
even a decent OS. But they quickly become popular due to their
ultra-portability and especially their price. In the mean time netbooks
have evolved and today we are looking at a dual netbook coming from
Haleron Technologies, the Swordfish Net 102.

I must admit that in the mean time I have become used to the idea of
actually owning a netbook. It s not the price that has convinced me but
the prospect of the netbook-like tablets running better OS (iPhone OS /
Mac OS X and Windows 7). While I am waiting for those to become official
I happen to check out all the other netbooks that appear each week. And
this Swordfish Net 102 strikes me as a both grotesque but potentially
brilliant idea. The Swordfish packs to Atom processors!

Do we really need these small computers to come equipped with two Intel
Atom N270 1.6GHz processors? What could we possibly do with them besides
draining the battery faster? After all the netbook is a handy tool to
use when your main laptop or desktop is unavailable. Just larger than a
phone, the netbook will get you all the extra features you need during a
busy day. So what would we have to do in order to require not one, but
two Atom processors in a computer that s meant to temporarily replace
our default machine?

While you re thinking of a good answer for me, I ll go through some of
the other specs of this smart beast. The Swordfish Net 102 will offer
you a 10.2-inch display, 2GB of DDRII RAM, a 160 GB SATA hard drive,
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 1.3-megapixel webcam, optional 3G
module and Windows XP in the background. All in all this isn t a bad
tool after all. You can have it for just $449 which happens to be a
great price. But yes, for the same amount of cash you could get an
actual laptop. If you happen to buy the Swordfish Net 102 after all, do
drop me a line and tell me how those two Atom processors are performing.
Hopefully the default 3-cell battery won t die that fast
