Red Fox WizBook laptops

Red Fox and AMD teamed up to develop their own Eee PC competitor and launched the this week with a much disappointing 400MHz AMD Geode processor. Hate to say the obvious but this is most certainly going to be a bust.

See price and specs below:

  1. I’ve always had the feeling redbox was ‘cheap’

  2. Nice, I have a comparison between the two WizBook’s at my personal blog.

  3. Ouch! Last time I heard of a 500Mb processor was way back 2002 I think… Even ordinary Flash based games today requires at least an 800MB processor.

    Hey, I still got my Windows 98 SE installer disc and MS Office 2000. With a thousand scratches of course… Great!

  4. I think my IPhone is much faster.

  5. Basically the AMD Geode LX processor was target for low-power embedded
    markets. With a decent performance and in many cases this will be more
    than sufficient for web based or client base applications. The main
    selling point is for the Geode LX is the reliability and much lower
    power then Eee PC.

    Even if performance is the same, the battery life will be longer. The
    FACT is that Geode LX is made for low-power application. Intel is just
    using their current Celeron M processor (plus 2 chipsets) and fitting
    this into a UMPC thus not exactly optimize for UMPC market. Geode LX is
    the 3rd generation Geode family of low-power processor.

  6. benchmarks? I know RAM makes a difference

  7. If they market it properly, it could sell. Problem is that Linux lacks marketing support, even though some versions are very straightforward and virus free, making them ideal for low-budget users: writers, students, school teachers, etc. If it also comes with Open Office pre-loaded it’s very sulit.

  8. I tried the 10″ version and aside from the slow operating system boot up, it felt quite snappy. It has Neo Shine 3.0 installed on it which has Neo Shine Office, GAIM, Mozilla Fire Fox, etc. The 10″ version is being sold for only PhP 18,500 at Compex Megamall which is pretty good considering they upped the battery to 4800mAh and it has web-friendly resolution. It also looks less like a toy than the EEE PC does… Very cool looking actually.

  9. A bit slow and specs low. Seen the Wizbooks (8 and 10 in screens)last night when i was shopping for an ultraportable, Lucien is correct, they look less like toys than the eeepc in the market.
    I ended up with HP 2133 though…

  10. Hey Deb,

    I really want the HP Mini-note 2133 however they still have VIA C7M on it. How’s it going for you? I’ll wait for their refresh with the VIA Nano processor and see how it goes. I honestly think HP has the best designed ULPC… Minus the location of the mouse buttons.

  12. too costly for cheap specs. people nowadays, are looking for great deal of laptops. you don’t spend 20k just for the “cute” looks. but most importantly, what’s “inside” it. yeah, for the manufacturers offer something better, and worth the money or else don’t make one. not pretty competitive though.

  13. linux is quite slow though. try to install win xp pro..

  14. i am considering the 10″ one for school work, web browsing, and some typing. hope you or anybody could help me with my questions. is this adequate for viewing pdf files and powerpoint presentation? is this responsive (enough RAM)? for my specific purpose? how many seconds is the startup time with the default OS? what would be the boot time if i use windows xp on it? is this sturdy? does this confer less eye strain compared to staring on a 14″ CRT monitor for hours? thanks!

  15. i forgot to ask for opinions if P18,500 for this gadget is cheap, just fair, unfair, or expensive.

  16. Hi there,

    Anyone know where this is made in?

    Thks :)

  17. i think it suits market who is looking for an economical yet functional laptop.

  18. I saw it at megamall yesterday when I was strolling, and I found out that it was made in Taiwan.

  19. Yes, Redfox is a Taiwan-based company. Same as MSI, Acer, HTC and Asus.

  20. I have been using a Geode GX400 that runs at 333 mhz and it does all my daily work, even running flash video while I do file management and browsing.

    It’s the software that makes the difference.

    Surprise – I use Puppy Linux! I built a special Puppy for these small laptops and called it “breeezy” (a breeze to install and easy to use).

  21. Pls send me the drivers of my laptop

    Red fox wizbook800.Thank you

  22. i bought the 10 inch model and installed xp home from my flash drive. believe it or not, it boots up to desktop in less than one minute. it’s much more responsive than the pre-installed linux. this is no joke, i’ll try making a video…

  23. hi, could anybody help my problem?i have a wisbook loptop, and i can’t install windows xp.i hve rather install windows vista but i don’t have driver pls reply asap
