We are often asked, Why a dual processor Netbook?
The Swordfish Net 102 Dual Netbook was developed to fill a specific void in Latin America. 
The standard notebook or laptop computer, although an industry standard around the world,
was out of reach for many Latin Americans.  Pricing for Technology products in these
countries is far higher than in North America.  Once the Atom processor hit the market, and
developers began building the now ever popular netbook computer, the lesser priced
processors and chipsets placed the small computers put the netbook within reach of most
Latin Americans.
But once purchased, they found that the Atom processor just could not support the
multi-tasking needs of students and proffessionals hoping to utilize these in place of the
more expensive laptop computers.  Running a Graphics program, Word, Excel and listening to
your favorite mp3, just couldnt be supported.

There was nothing to loose in modifying the 945 chipset to support integrated Atom
Processors.  So, after 6 months of testing and modifications, we have developed what we feel
is the best solution for a load sharing Dual Atom processor netbook. We found that it works
best on the Windows XP operating system.  Both Windows Vista and the new Windows 7 preformed below Windows XP in the load sharing department, ie, splitting the load to both processors.

Integrating 3G technology allowed for mobile internet connections as
WiFi hotspots are not as plentiful in Latin America.  Broadband via land lines are very limited by neighborhoods and lack of equipment in most of Latin America, but Wireless via 3G technology is becoming readily available in most countries.  Therefore the addition of the 3G module made sense.

If you are looking for a netbook that equals the standard laptop in basic performance, the Swordfish 102 Dual processor fits the bill.   However, the 3 cell lithium battery only supports up to 2.5 hours
of normal use.  This is not an issue if you use it in your office or home. But to use the Swordfish Dual as a mobile device has its limitations due to the power consumption buy the Dual Processors. We have two options to improve your battery life, the first, two 3 cell batteries, the second, an additional 6 cell battery that can add up to 4.5 hours to your computing time.
