Now here’s something we never expected to see: a dual-processor netbook! A dual-core netbook, sure, but two physical processors? That concept hasn’t even caught on with power users on the desktop segment, so how can Haleron, maker of the two-chip Swordfish Net 102 Dual Netbook, expect it to be a hit with mainstream users who value battery life above all else?
Price, for one. At $450, the 10.2-inch netbook manages to stay within netbook pricing territory, even if it does rock out with two Atom chips. The rest of the specs are about what you’d imagine from an upper-tier netbook, including 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive, WiFi, built-in 3G module,1.3MP webcam, and Windows XP.
Haleron doesn’t make any claims towards battery, and with just a 3-cell battery, we don’t expect a whole lot. Even still, color us intrigued, if not mystified.
