HaleronA tip of our virtual press hat to anyone who can come up with a rational argument for stuffing two processors into a lean-and-trim, 10-inch screen netbook.

The Swordfish Net 102 packs in two Intel Atom 1.6GHz processors in a jet-engine-on-a-skateboard configuration that seems to excel mainly at draining batteries.

Although the list price of $450 seems pretty reasonable for all that hardware. If you had something to do with it. And never planned to be away from a wall outlet for more than an hour.
