Haleron Swordfish Net102 netbook has dual-core Atom

Haleron has rolled out its Swordfish Net102 netbook that will boast a dual core Intel Atom 330 processor instead of the standard Intel Atom N270/N280 processor that is normally found in most netbooks. This will definitely have a negative impact on the battery life since the processor itself is normally found in desktops, resulting in a higher power consumption albeit boasting decent specifications including 2GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 10.2″ LCD display at 1,024 x 600 resolution, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, a multi-memory card reader and a 1.3-megapixel webcam. Expect the Swordfish Net to retail for $499 a pop.
