Finally, somebody has the gut to made a dual Intel Atom processor netbook. Well, that somebody is from a small company called Haleron Technologies. The dual Intel Atom processor netbook is called Swordfish Net 102, weird name I may add. It comes with two Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processors (this is not the same as dual core like the Atom N330 found in desktop), 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive, and a 10.2 inch LCD display with a resolution of 1024 by 600. The base model comes with a skimpy 3-cell 2450mAh battery; now how is this battery capacity going to fit into the dual processors spec? One question will come up is that does the dual processors has the power management system? The ability to shut down one processor when the system is under load is important to save battery life. Other specs include WiFi, 3G, dual Bluetooth, 10/100 LAN, and a 1.3 megapixel camera.
The Swordfish Net 102 netbook is not available in retail stores yet but is now available at Haleron for $499. At $499 and netbook spec, that is kind of steep. It is treading into the economy notebooks realm.
