MacBook Air Knockoff with Glowing Apple Logo
Proving once again that the Chinese are creative on making knockoffs. Here’s a MacBook Air wannabe featuring a glowing Apple logo with different color. Apple fanboys might love this.
MacBook Air knockoffs are available for sale everywhere in Shenzhen. Citizens are loving it since it costs way cheaper than the ones from Apple, and the machine meet their demands for everyday usage. It’s not surprising to see a Chinese sitting down at Starbucks with a notebook which has a glowing Apple logo.
Price and Configuration
It’s powered by a 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and a 3-cell battery. It supports 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and will only run you $1700RMB (about $249). You can choose Windows XP or free-dos for the OS, and upgrade to 2GB RAM or 320GB hard drive when you are purchasing.
Design
You would get attracted to this machine at first sight. It looks exactly the same with Apple’s MacBook Air, but with different color.
The Apple logo could glow different types of color that tickles your fancy. I prefer the blue one instead.
I’m happy to see that this knockoff uses chiclet keyboard just like the MacBooks. You can choose white or black keyboard when purchasing. A big touchpad can be found under the keyboard too. The knockoff uses a 13.3 inch (1280*800) LED backlit screen which is the biggest one I have ever seen so far among the netbooks.
The ports are distributed along the sides: two USB ports, HDMI out, Ethernet port, microphone, and speaker jacks. A SD Card slot is also available. It’s unlikely to find these stuff on Apple’s MacBook Air.

Wrap-up
Apple MacBooks are really cool, but you need plenty of money to own it. PC fanboys who love Apple could buy this knockoff without second thoughts. However, you would not get the same specs as the real one, since this knockoff only gives you the capability of surfing the web, checking for emails and working out with your documents. All of these are enough for a computer user nowadays. So, it’s just up to you whether this MacBook Air knockoff suits you or not.

Order and Purchase
This MacBook Air knockoff has a price tag of $1900 RMB. There will be a new model coming soon in 3 days, it has a white color glowing Apple logo just like the Apple’s MacBook. It comes with the new Atom N450 platform. A full review of the machine will be available on coming Wednesday. If you are looking for more details, send us an email to info@micgadget.com. So please stay tuned.

I am sure Apple lawyers are hard at work for some kind of copy right infringement law suite.They probably think they own the color white besides the apple logo, maybe they should have put an orange or a plum so they can afford to stay in buisness.
the colour is not white but ‘apple ivory®’ and they do own it they even have an orchard of ivory-white apples growing there. And yes, they glow like the one implanted on steve jobs neck. just do not eat the seeds they are poison- strychnine filled. besides the Apple® logo sans ‘bite’ is licensed by Adam/Eden Gardens, Inc.® Steves special AppleJuice@ is a quantum live dna compound that uses Lithium Ion derived from Apple® employees executives own DNA. doesn’t anyone know anything anymore
Where can I purchase this? It may not be real, but for those decent specs and the look of a MacBook, I would definitely buy one for a back up machine at $249.00.
Does anybody have a site where this could be ordered?
Reply to Wolf: You can order this MacBook Air knockoff from our site. Just send an email to us to make an order.
Reply to Alan: This MacBook Air knockoff is available for sale on our site. Please send us an email if you wish to purchase.
Hey there, my husband told me about your site a couple weeks ago, and I absolutely like it. I will be back! Thanks!
Thank you for your great article. I also must say that your layout is a pleasure to view. Keep up the good work.
Hi. It’s so nice notebook! Pls tell me where i can find your email? i want to know price and shipping. Or write me on my mail. Thx
I want it!
Where I can find your email ?
Pls send me information about purchasing to my mail.

Good points, I think I will definitely subscribe! I’ll go and read some more! What do you see the future of this being?
Please send me info to buy one.
Would love to buy one when you are ready to sell them! Let me know.
Put them for sale on ebay, and then give us the link!
You might want to check your specs.
You state that the LCD is 13.3″ 1280×800 LED backlight. However, all of the ones for sale on DHgate.com like this one here:
have a resolution of 1024×600. Are you sure your stats are right for the ones you have?
Nevermind. Found some on there that state 1280×800 too.
Now I just have to figure out if both versions are in the wild or if someone is lying or otherwise messed up…
can I install snow leopard on this machine?
Reply to Ann: Maybe can or maybe not. You need to explore for drivers for this machine to make it work. Some hardware may not work if you install MacOS in it.
The information presented is top notch. I’ve been doing some research on the topic and this post answered several questions.
“will be available for sale until next weekend after our full review”
Why aren’t you selling this anymore after you post your review?
Reply to Auxtin: This post is just a short review of the unit. In order to ensure that there are no problems for this knockoff, we promise readers to do a full review of the machine. Then, it will be safe to sell to you guys after that. Thanks.
Thank you Chairman Mao!
A question about colors.. will we be able to order a black version with a black keyboard?
And the glowing logo.. do we have to choose a color or are they all multicolored?
Good blog. I got a lot of great info from it. I’ve been watching this technology for awhile. It’s intriguing how it keeps varying, yet some of the core elements remain the same. For example, the information that a can give you is invaluable.
How can I order from your site?
Wow.
There’s a really good chance that the Ubuntu Netbook Remix would run perfectly on this box.
The coffee shop will never be the same.

If the white glowing apple model has an N450 it will NOT be able to run OSX (for anyone interested in such a thing).
Thanks for sharing that sound advice.

Hi – really great site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed playing with computers and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).

Yes another cheap knockoff, good for people that are lacking the cash to buy a very expensive mac.
What a great lowcost machine this macbook air knockoff. I think that if i was able to buy one i would be tempted
I have been looking for this laptop EVERYWHERE! They don't sell it anymore on feltu
This has the n280 processor necessary for installing Mac OSX. I've searched alibaba and haven't been able to find this model, and I've also checked other global trade websites (all of them having pretty sketch sellers).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
well, We've had a fair amount of coverage of MacBook Air clones in this site. What's not to love about them?
