Haleron surprised the world a few weeks ago by announcing a netbook sporting two separate Intel Atom N270 processors. It is not sure whether the concept will materialize, but now the company has unveiled another netbook with an Intel Atom 330 processor. Called Swordfish 20, the new device is powered by a dual core Atom 330 processor with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive.
The Atom 330 is a processor usually found on desktops. While it offers better performance than the netbook specific N270/N280, it also consumes more power.
The Swordfish 20 netbook is equipped with a 10.2 inch display featuring 1024x600 pixels. The standard storage option is a 160GB hard drive, but you can opt for a 250GB drive. Other specifications include Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, 3 USB ports, VGA, Ethernet, a 5-in-1 card reader and a 1.3MP webcam. It has a 6 cell battery and an unlocked 3G modem. Prices start at $499.
