Red Fox netbook first with Bluetooth 3.0
Phillipino manufacturer Red Fox may not be going toe to toe with Asus and Acer when it comes to netbook sales, but it’s beaten them in one feature at least: its new Wizbook N1020i is the first to come with Bluetooth 3.0, so it’ll sling files wirelessly faster than an MP can ask for a receipt to go.
If you can get over the shell which makes a Packard Bell look like a MacBook Pro, the Red Fox WizBook N1020i is a netbook with more than respectable specs: a 10.2-inch screen, Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and Wi-Fi. But the Red Fox netbook also comes with Bluetooth 3.0, making it the first to use the new standard unveiled a few months ago.
That means no more sitting around waiting minutes on end to transfer one picture: with the Bluetooth 3.0, the Red Fox WizBook N1020i should be able to dish out files outside of a hotspot at up to 24Mbps. In theory, that means streaming HD video, although since the Red Fox laptop’s screen tops out at 1024
