Red Fox, just like the other home grown names like Blue and Neo, is a ubiquitous brand with the masses in parts of the Philippines. While the latter two are brands who are focusing on notebook computers, Red Fox has been around earlier providing pre-configured and assembled desktop computers and in recent years, notebooks. What we have is one of their recent notebook models that propose a balance between value and mobility: the Red Fox Razer WR113.
From the way things are going, it’s headed for competition from the netbooks and sub notebooks on the lower end of the scale, and its mainstream peers on the other when one takes a glance at its base offering and price. What exactly differentiates this product from what the competition is offering? That’s what we’ll find out.
It looks simple, even with its glossy, blue finish. There’s nothing about the WR113′s looks that will make heads turn.
This notebook sports a 13.3-inch display and a rather wide keyboard that almost takes up the whole width of the computer – a plus, as it does make typing easier which could be an issue in some thin-and-lights. The WR113 is also a bit on the heavy side, tipping the scales at around 1.8kg.
In terms of ports, this Red Fox offers pretty much what you would expect from this kind of notebook. It has HDMI, VGA, and mic ports, a 3.5-mm headphone jack, and 2 USB ports located at the right side of the computer. A 1.3-megapixel webcam sits atop the display, offering basic video-chat capabilities. A 2.5-inch-long vent lines up the left side, constantly blowing up warm air from the computer’s guts.
