MacBook Air Knockoff Full Review: Unboxing and Hands-On

The ultimate MacBook Air knockoff has landed, and folks all over are excited about it. This is the best MacBook Air wannabe ever, featuring a real glowing Apple logo and it’s almost as thin as the real one. Here we have a wholesome unboxing and hands-on shots for you to enjoy. And a video!

Our previous introduction on the MacBook Air Knockoff with Glowing Apple Logo has brought us a motivation to buy it and own it. We love the knockoff, it’s possibly the most beautiful product the Chinese knock-off makers have ever copied. There have been some MacBook Air knockoff reviews out there, but we got the first of the units that will actually ship to customers, so it’s time for telling you what we think.

Price and Configuration

We need to remind you that this knockoff doesn’t come with the specs you see on the real MacBook Air. It’s powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and a 4-cell battery. Yup, it comes with the new Intel Atom platform you see in the new netbooks out there. Also, you get the support of 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi for this machine. We are really satisfied with its price tag, which cost only $1900RMB (about $280). Much more affordable than Apple’s MacBook Air.

Unboxing

I have to admit that the knockoff makers had put a great effort on this Air wannabe. The packaging is almost the same as Apple’s MacBook, you can just show off the package box to your friends without a second thought.

Isn’t it amazing? The packaging has something different. If you look carefully on the MacBook Air picture on the box, the original “MacBook Air” logo has changed to “XXXXXX”. This is funny.

In the box, there are not much things to take care of. It’s rather simple to sort out the machine, adapter, battery, driver disc and instruction manual.

We are amazed with the inside-packaging as well. You get a MacBook Air driver disc and a Chinese version of Apple’s instruction manual. They are quite real.

By looking at the package box, I almost thought that I have purchased Apple’s MacBook.

Unboxing the MacBook Air Knockoff

Design

The moment you hold the Air wannabe, it looks and feels just like the real one, but it’s not built from one solid piece of aluminum. It has a plastic unibody which may not be durable.

The glowing Apple logo is beautiful. It’s not exactly perfect as it doesn’t feel as good as the one you see on the real MacBooks. The surface’s texture is a little bit rough.

And the glossy 13.3-inch (1280×800) LED-backlit display is just the right size for bloggers. Its picture is quite pretty though and you’ll notice sharpness is as good as the MacBook Air’s.

The keyboard is full size. Typing on the Air wannabe is a pleasure, not a chore, as I did this review by using the keyboard. You get a Windows logo instead of an Apple logo for the key beside the spacebar. Also, the trackpad is spacious to have your fingers put on it, but it doesn’t support the multitouch. Only basic scrolling can be done on this large trackpad.

The power button lights up when you press it. It acts in the same way as the real MacBook Air. You can see a row of indicator lights on top of the keyboard too.

The Air wannabe has an extremely sturdy-feeling foldable door that is impossible to open while resting on the table, and basically requires picking the entire machine up. This exposes the Air wannabe’s three ports on the left-hand side: one USB 2.0, one mini-HDMI, and one headphone. Also, there’s a Ethernet port too. On the other side, you get a SD-card slot, one more USB port and a power connector port.

We are surprised to see a infra-red detector beside the webcam. You can use the included remote to point on it for video playback. Not sure anyone would do this.

The lack of a user replaceable battery in the MacBook Air has brought inconvenience for some users. Luckily, you get to remove your battery on the base of this Air wannabe.

So is this Air wannabe thin? Yes. Light? Yes.

However, it’s not quiet. The fan runs almost nonstop during basic operation. Luckily, it’s not so noisy, definitely acceptable for anyone.

Size Comparison

The machine is exactly the same size as Apple’s Macbook Air. We wish it can be smaller for portability. We put the HP mini 2140 side-by-side with the Air wannabe to give you a clearer look on how big is it.

Personally, I love the size of netbooks. 13 inch may be too big but with an ultrathin body, it’s acceptable. Surfing the web will definitely feel more comfortable on the 13 inch screen size.

Battery Life

We were told that the Air wannabe has a “2+ hour battery life,” achieved through a 4-Cell removable lithium polymer battery. I tested the system with power saving (lower performance), medium screen brightness and wi-fi on. And I was able to play back a high-def MOV for over an hour (about 80 minutes). We wished it could last longer.

Performance

What we got here is a $1900 RMB MacBook Air knock-off featuring a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor (512K L2 cache), 1GB RAM (400MHz), 160GB hard drive and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150. $2080 RMB buys you a upgrade to 2GB RAM, nothing else.

We got an Apple MacBook Air to carry out the comparison with this MacBook Air knock-off. The results are stunning, the MacBook Air knock-off is half the performance of Apple MacBook Air. We ran PCMark05 to find it out.

PCMark05 Results

On PCMark05, which measures overall system performance, the knockoff scored 1,620 compared to the Apple Air’s 3,684. Forgot to tell you that the Apple MacBook Air we have features a 128GB SSD.

Next, we carried out the 3DMark testing. (Note, the knock-off has an Intel GPU, the MacBook Air has the Nvidia GPU)

3DMark06 Results

On 3DMark06, which measures graphics performance alone, the Apple’s Air notched 1,385 to the knock-off’s 163.

WINNER: The Apple’s MacBook Air. Clearly, these two systems are not in the same class when comes to processing power and graphics. However, the knock-off was more than adequate for common tasks like surfing the Web, sending e-mail, writing documents in Word, or watching 720p video.

Wrap-up

We think this Air wannabe is almost perfect to be an ultraportable. A model with Atom N280 is still available for purchasing (very few stock) and it sells with the same price as this one, $1900 RMB (about $280). You can upgrade to 2GB RAM with an additional cost. Customers can choose between 2 color options, black or white. The Apple logo glows in white color when the machine is powered on. Beautiful enough to bring it to Starbucks for a show-off.

It’s available for sale at feltu.com, feel free to send us an email for more info. [Unboxing Shots and Hands-on Shots on Flickr]

  4. Marcelo Capillé @ February 5th, 2010 at 4:03 am

    I wish I knew how to order one… in fact, just like Waladi above, I´d go and order 2, and give one as a gift…
    If anyone knows how to order one to be delivered to Brazil, pls let me know…
    And thanks for the review!!! it´s awesome!!!

  5. Nao @ February 5th, 2010 at 6:39 am

    Hello,

    I am very interested to buy one, where can I order it ?

    Thank you.

  6. Auxtin @ February 5th, 2010 at 3:16 pm

    Hmm what are the odds you could replace the single-touch trackpad with a multi?

  7. lapieuvre @ February 5th, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    hello, how can i order one unit of this computer???
    thank you for your response.

  8. Rebecca @ February 5th, 2010 at 10:37 pm

    Hi,

    Could you please advise how can I buy one?
    Being interested in it…

    Thanks!

  9. haseefrance @ February 6th, 2010 at 7:04 pm

    As a matter of fact, the guys have taken a HASEE Ultrabook laptop (see them on Amazon UK or on NetPayBox) and put an Apple logo on them… but it won't pass European customs with such a logo and box!
    You can purchase the original models from HASEE in Europe.

  10. HDMI really? @ February 7th, 2010 at 10:56 pm

    HDMI?
    Can you please tell us more about the “mini-HDMI” connection?
    I thought HDMI is impossible with the Atom N450 because Microsoft crippled it down to analogue (VGA) connections only!?!?

  11. chrisdocstrange @ February 9th, 2010 at 9:03 am

    If only Macs were so cheap….

  12. aux @ February 15th, 2010 at 2:17 pm

    Are you planning on doing a review for the N280 model also?
    Trying to find out what hardware is in it to see if it will be fully OSX compatible, like Wifi/LAN,Audio/etc

  13. Al @ February 17th, 2010 at 9:43 am

    Can't find any N450s like yours without the stickers and in that box. Did you peel off the stickers or did you get it like that?

  14. robinson @ February 17th, 2010 at 7:19 pm

    Any way of putting OS X on the device?

  15. aux @ February 17th, 2010 at 8:59 pm

    I'm sorry to say that neither the N280 nor the N450 model are prime candidates for OSX. The N450 does not have compatible drivers for the graphics chipset and the N280 does not have a compatible WiFi card (Ralink RT3090). 3 possibilities for the N280:
    1. Ralink releases an OSX driver.
    2. Someone ports the Linux driver.
    3. You replace the WiFi card (how difficult, I wonder…)

    Thanks to Chairman Mao for the driver information and I hope to see more MBA clones in the future!

  16. aux @ February 19th, 2010 at 2:03 pm

    Good news, everyone!

    Ralink has just released a Mac OSX driver for the WiFi card in the N280 model.
    http://www.ralink.com.tw/support.php?s=3

    This knockoff SHOULD now be fully OSX compatible!

    I will post a tutorial and the remaining drivers once the device is released.

  17. dmnt @ February 22nd, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    I believe that it's rumoured that MS and Intel have such a deal with netbook manufacturers to cripple the netbooks by not adding HDMI ports (even though the N450 is capable of 1080p) among other things. Of course, knockoffs like this wouldn't be affected by such a deal.

  18. yuprules @ February 23rd, 2010 at 9:27 pm

    So many people asking where to buy it, please let us all know! $280 is an amazing deal!

  19. rbolt @ February 27th, 2010 at 6:13 pm

    where can we buy this. please share us the link.

  20. unclemacosx @ February 28th, 2010 at 1:20 am

    If you can Hackint0sh it and post a few benchmarks I may be interested in getting one myself if it runs half decent with Snow Leopard. :)

  21. unclemacosx @ February 28th, 2010 at 9:05 pm

    Hmm, even better would be the Intel Atom D510 Dual Core & or the Ion w/the Nvidia 9400M GPU but that’s a long shot to ever see that combo but it would make a sweet Hacint0sh NetBook!! ;D

  22. aux @ March 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 am

    It would be LOVELY to see a knockoff MacBook with an nVidia ION.. oh god, I'm drooling..

    Anyway, once I get it I'm going to try and get Snow working on it. The only thing I'm not 100% on is the Wifi, but if for some reason I can't get that to work, I'll just get a miniUSB wifi dongle.

    How would you like the benchmarks done?

  23. homewmt @ March 3rd, 2010 at 10:33 pm

    Can someone post details on how to hackintosh this (snow leopard and dual boot with windows 7 would be best, and also details on how to obtain this in the U.S. (from a trustworthy source)

    Thanks

  24. unclemacosx @ March 4th, 2010 at 12:48 am

    aux,
    How would I like the benchmarks for Snow Lep? What about Geekbench, Xbench, Speedtools, Open GL Extdnsions Viewer just to name a few, if any or all will work. Bear Feats runs extensive benchmark tests mostly above and beyond the average call. However, anything you can post would be greatly appreciated! :D
    I'm actually mostly curious on how this would compare to the 1st generation Mac Mini with the 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo since that's the lowest end Intel Mac ever sold with the exception of the developer's old Pentium PCs when Tiger was going to Intel.
    Thanx!

  25. aux @ March 4th, 2010 at 1:36 am

    I'm pretty sure a 1.5 GHz Core solo would outperform it. The Atom is pretty sad IMO, would have loved to see this knockoff with the 1.2 GHz ULV CPU instead of the Atom but this knockoff is just too beautiful. I think it will run well for my tastes but I know Flash performance will suffer terribly.. Wish Adobe would push out an update already.

  26. unclemacosx @ March 4th, 2010 at 1:45 am

    Oh yeah the Solo would but it would be a nice base comparison. If I had one I do wonder how iLife '09 would perform and I'm sure it would be very slow but Snow Lep may improve upon the battery life and the fan issue….maybe. ;)

  27. ET @ March 4th, 2010 at 4:48 pm

    Wow what a great 'macbook'! i'm wondering why it isn't for sale on ebay.. does anyone know where to get one of these? And if its OSX compatible?

  28. ET @ March 5th, 2010 at 12:48 am

  29. jethisashi @ March 20th, 2010 at 3:47 am

    Video will be taken when working with your computer. Will be more interesting than this.

  30. dmnt @ March 22nd, 2010 at 7:49 am

    Based on available benchmarks, it would go like this:

    (from best to worst)
    -Intel Core 2 Solo U3500 @ 1.40 GHz
    -Intel Core 2 Solo U2200 @ 1.20 GHz
    -Intel Core 2 Solo U2100 @ 1.06 GHz
    -Intel Atom N450 @ 1.66 GHz (the new knockoff)
    -Intel Core Solo U1500 @ 1.33 GHz
    -Intel Atom N280 @ 1.66 GHz (the old knockoff)
    -Intel Core Solo U1400 @ 1.20 GHz

    Has anybody succeeded with putting hackintosh on it?

  34. smahmud @ April 25th, 2010 at 4:46 pm

    1) Has anyone tried to load OSX using EFI?
    2) How about pix, esp if you load Mac4Lin on it.

  35. unclemacosx @ April 26th, 2010 at 6:55 pm

    I think Chris Mao should attempt it. :) It would help sales for sure! :D

  36. Anthony @ April 29th, 2010 at 7:44 pm

    Has anyone ordered from feltu.com?

    Do they ship direct from China or USA or Europe? The website is very vague, just checkout through paypal but no real details on shipping except the $60 flat rate. Is it courier, is their tracking? Too many questions need answering before I order lol.

  37. Alexlfm @ April 30th, 2010 at 5:06 am

    I too am curious. Their website is pretty… well, bad to say the least. The price seems good but I really don't want to pay that much and have no idea what I'm getting into.

  38. Anthony @ April 30th, 2010 at 9:48 am

    I had a reply from feltu.com:

    the item will be shipped from Hong Kong by SpeedPost
    and it will usually take 5-7 days to deliver to UK
    a tracking number will be provided to you upon shipped

    I'm still a little undecided……..

  39. mikel @ May 9th, 2010 at 9:05 am

    you should include iatkos cd

  40. Chris Mao @ May 11th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

  42. READthis @ June 3rd, 2010 at 4:37 am

    Dose it run Mac OSX?

  43. READthis, read this. @ June 3rd, 2010 at 5:30 pm

    No, the N450 doesn't run Mac OS X (yet).

  44. lekimiah @ June 3rd, 2010 at 5:31 pm

    Why would they do that if Mac OS X doesn't work on it?

  45. dmnt @ June 3rd, 2010 at 10:07 pm

    I went ahead and ordered one, so I'll let you guys know what happens.

  46. Usmcf18 @ June 13th, 2010 at 10:42 pm

    Does that website not sell these anymore

    im dying to buy one of these

  47. Usmcf18 @ June 14th, 2010 at 1:27 am

    i have been searching all over the web and cannot find anyone selling this

  48. YMCA @ June 14th, 2010 at 4:04 am

    Umm… what are you going on about? It's still there.

  49. Chris Mao @ June 14th, 2010 at 4:48 am

    It's available at the link below,

  50. Wafflezz @ June 14th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

    i am hesitant to buy one due to question of whether it supports OSX Snow Leopard. Also, why did the price get changed from supposably $280 + shipping to 300 + shipping. I am a teen and will have to save up for this so i have to make sure that it has everything im looking for

  51. Nono-css-29 @ June 14th, 2010 at 8:07 pm

    We have no guarantee of sends him(it) of the mac book, let us can trust us in the site FELTU???

  52. dmnt @ June 15th, 2010 at 3:56 am

    Nice, I just got it today! I opened it up and checked it out, it seems to be shipped pretty securely; there's no damage whatsoever to the MacBook, although the box did get a few dents. I also turned it on quickly to make sure it came with the 2 GB RAM I ordered and it did. It also came with the extra battery I purchased. If you guys want, I can post some pictures of unboxing it, using it, etc. (as I've put it back in the box for now), but that'll have to wait until after this Friday as I've got an exam coming…

  53. dmnt @ June 15th, 2010 at 3:57 am

    As other people have already said, the Atom N450 currently doesn't support Mac OS X.

  54. yannick @ June 15th, 2010 at 11:41 am

    Just let us now what happens, greetz from belgium and good luck with your exams!

  55. Navid @ June 18th, 2010 at 10:51 pm

    Is it exactly the same as in the picture and video?

  56. dmnt @ June 19th, 2010 at 4:56 am

    Damn… exam finally finished at 10 PM… hope you guys don't mind, but I'm going straight to sleep… Discrete Math really takes all the strength out of you. I'll try to post some pics, etc. after I get some time to relax… I think I deserve it! (Sorry Navid…) (… also thanks for that good luck yannick!)

  57. magicmike @ June 19th, 2010 at 7:00 am

    would that little toy also possibly be available with software and keyboard in other languages, like spanish, german, french and is it assembled in shenzhen?
    Seems interesting anyway, I'm going to Shenzhen next week and should purchase one to test it and negotiate further distribution – where to get there?

  58. Navid @ June 20th, 2010 at 1:48 am

    Yes please upload some photos if you have free time.

  59. ncbp @ June 22nd, 2010 at 4:23 am

    I would love to hear how it is. I'm really dying to buy one of these but I'm a little hesitant because of the website's possible credibility issues. It looks like it could be an amazing net book.

  60. Timi @ June 23rd, 2010 at 11:23 am

    is this still available?

  61. alien @ June 24th, 2010 at 5:05 am

    something confused here..
    i saw the spec regarding to the thickness,

    Macbook Pro 0.95″
    Macbook Air 0.76″
    Macbook Air Knockoff 1.06″
    so based on this, the knockoff should be more proper a Macbook Pro knockoff rather than Macbook Air knockoff..

    Just my opinion.. hehe..
    but i like this knckoff.. seems a good idea for a ubuntu machine. ;)

  62. Nono-css-29 @ June 24th, 2010 at 12:25 pm

    I have the same idea , Ubuntu with macbook Theme , but nobody , seems buy this mac book air knock off , and I afraid of buy it on Feltu . (sorry for my bad English , I'm French.

  63. Ebe Master @ June 27th, 2010 at 1:47 am

    Hello world

    I'm apparently the first participant in these comments that have already bought the MacBook Air Knockoff.

    I'm from Mexico. I bought my MacBook Air Knockoff in early June and I received on 22 June.

    The shipping from FelTufue was well, however, due to luck (bad), when be received in Mexico this package was opening by the customs. When they reviewed the contents, felt that the notebook was Original, of Apple brand and they charged to me a tax of 16% of estimated cost ($ 12,000.00 pesos or $ 937.50 USD). Unfortunately, when the package was closed again, they damage the box, not the content.

    Finally, the notebook came into my hands.

    My first impression upon seeing the damage on the package was that the notebook came in poor condition. I opened the package at the post office for review and this was in perfect condition.

    The notebook has Windows 7 in English. As I have licenses for Windows XP and Windows and Spanish, I erase the hard drive and installed both systems in the notebook.

    I know that Windows 7 can emulate the Windows XP within himself, however, with only 1 GB of memory is not advisable.

    The notebook is very good and very fast, works perfectly with both operating systems. Soon I will upload videos and catch for you to have a better opinion.

  64. Chris Mao @ June 27th, 2010 at 10:52 am

    u paid the tax???

  65. Nono-css-29 @ June 27th, 2010 at 6:23 pm

    Thank you Ebe Master for your comment , How much have you paid the taxe ?

  66. Guest @ June 27th, 2010 at 8:04 pm

    original is much better

  67. Ebe Master @ June 27th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

    That is not disputed. What we all want to share is the scope that this imitation, namely how good is it?

  68. ncbp @ June 28th, 2010 at 12:00 am

    I just ordered one myself so it would be great to see what I'm getting. I was a little nervous, but to hear you got yours and it's in good shape is encouraging

  69. Ebe Master @ June 28th, 2010 at 3:28 am

    I had to, if I did not, they would return the notebook

  70. Ebe Master @ June 28th, 2010 at 3:33 am

    I had to paid $159.30 USD for this notebook. In the customs office they categorized as original notebook

  71. Nono-css-29 @ June 28th, 2010 at 1:59 pm

    Ebe Master , can you send us pictures of the macbook ?

  72. ncbp @ June 29th, 2010 at 12:18 am

    how did you get Mac OS onto it?

  73. Ebe Master @ June 29th, 2010 at 5:19 pm

    I installed windows xp on it and then I tune like Mac OS interface

  74. Ebe Master @ June 29th, 2010 at 5:23 pm

    You can get some videos I uploaded to youtube, look like “MacBook Air Knockoff”; they are the third and fourth in the list of search.

  75. Chico Smile @ June 29th, 2010 at 5:29 pm

    I have oen question: does the specs can run hackintosh that would be cool!

  76. Ebe Master @ June 29th, 2010 at 6:38 pm

    I really do not know. As far as I know, no drivers for the Intel Atom N450 processor.

  77. ncbp @ June 29th, 2010 at 11:51 pm

    I can't believe just a few days after I bought this and before its even delivered they announce a new metal one that's even better. That's frustrating

  78. Ebe Master @ June 30th, 2010 at 12:38 am

    Is it better? No, absolutely not. The equipment mentioned here and came to me offering in Shenzhen since 2 months and in three different colors, silver, red and black. However, there are negative points about it.

    1. No HDMI or VGA port.
    2. It is heavier and thicker than the 13.3 “.
    3. Mac logo does not turn light.
    3. According to this, is the same type of processor, N450, but in reality they are producing with the Atom N280.

    After this, worth it? if by design, but not by the features and portability.

    Also, the battery, while removable, is necessary to remove a casing that covers the hard drive and network card to change it.

    Well I did receive my macbook air knockoff yesterday so I thought I should tell everyone about it. It arrived fine without being inspected, it was labelled as “old computer”. It is pretty good looking, I got the black one. I put in another GB of ram and it runs pretty fast, faster than many netbooks that I've used. Windows 7 is great and it isn't loaded up with bloatware, it even has microsoft office 2003. Overall I would say it was a good purchase, a nice big screen and keyboard complement my coming HP 14 well and it's light weight makes it portable, better battery life would be nice, but it's passable.

    Thank you ncbp for your comments , can you tell me if it's a real 13,3″ ? The thickness is the same of the real Macbook Air ?

    Now I have a comparative pictures about the MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air but I do not know where to upload them so they can be located with a search by name, because here I can not upload direct links, unless the administrator checked first but that does not make very continued. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'll make an attempt to put the links of the videos on youtube. Copy the address and remove spaces to view them

    I took photos with a VGA camera and secretly to avoid being noticed. There was no problem putting them together because it was also clearly a Mac

    The MacBook Air It is thinner than the MacBook Pro, obviously.

    The keyboard is nearly identical, except that the MacBook Pro has it in Spanish and the MacBook Air has some blue keys labeled with the combination with the Fn key.

    Are not seen as equal by the angle of the photo, but I assure you they are, I put a notebook on the other.

    Why is brighter screen one than the other?

    1. For the angle that gives light.
    2. Because the MacBook Air display is LED, not LCD XBright as the MacBook Pro

    Both piano finish on the deck and the Apple logo lit

    wow! you are in the Apple store with that MacBook Air knockoff !? no one is watching you ??

  85. Ebe Master @ July 2nd, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    That's right. It's crazy, right? This is an example of how similar are an original MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Knockoff

  86. EBE Master @ July 2nd, 2010 at 5:08 pm

    New server with the images of both MacBook in case you can not see all the previous server. Do not forget to remove spaces in the addresses of the link

    please upload same video and picture, sorry for bothering you

  88. Rima Skar @ August 10th, 2010 at 1:01 pm

    Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.

  89. 1337chaos @ August 11th, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    Yes it does. The video card isnt fully supported, but people are working on it. You can still install OSX and use it just fine, just without hardware acceleration for video.

  90. 1337chaos @ August 11th, 2010 at 11:06 pm

    I just received mine 2 days ago in the mail. They ship from China, Hong Kong Mail, once it gets into the USA it goes through USPS. The Hong Kong Mail tracking number they give you also works on the USPS tracking site. If you have any more questions, ask me.

  91. 1337chaos @ August 11th, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    Just to let you all know, when the review says that the apple logo doesnt “feel” as good as the real macbooks, the reviewer forgot to take the protective film off of the logo. Theres a film over the top case, but theres also a film on the logo itself. It took me a good 5 mins with an exacto knife to finally get the film off the logo.

  92. 1337chaos @ August 11th, 2010 at 11:15 pm

    So many things are wrong about this post. I just received mine 2 days ago.

    1. It has mini HDMI
    2. It’s only slightly thicker (by about .2 inches) but the exact same weight as the real macbook air.
    3. The mac logo lights up just fine, and actually looks just as good as my real macbook, if not better.
    4. It does in fact have a N450. I know. I took the thing apart already and checked when I removed the microphone from the motherboard.

    As for the battery, you don’t have to remove anything extra to get the battery out. It pops out as easily as any other PC laptop battery. The hard drive/ram/wireless door is a completely separate compartment.

  93. DearApple @ August 13th, 2010 at 9:15 am

    Wow, for $300 you basically get a MacBook Air except that it runs Windows. Actually I am sure with enough time you on your hands you can turn it into Hackintosh by installing Mac OS X on it.

    I wonder did anybody do this already?

  94. Reinaldo @ August 13th, 2010 at 2:08 pm

    Windows logo???? It’s funny!!!

    Out of work geologist, for my techno-savy wife. Will buy her the real thing when I can afford it , but for now hope she’s gonna love it!
    Ordered today from FElTu site. Proir to – I contacted the seller regarding shipping, positive feedbacks, OSX stability. Recieved a prompt and friendly reply.

    ~10 days dispatch to the UK

    No OSX pre-instalation offered by producer.

    Thus far a pleasant transaction – folks @ FElTu seem professional and ’stand-up’.

    I wonder has anyone requested purchase of just an extra battery from them yet??

    Will let you guys know when the item arrives.

  98. Loudevere @ August 29th, 2010 at 6:39 pm

    You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. This isn’t an Apple product and it will never perform in the same manner. Why try to emulate something so wonderfully created by Apple with this piece of garbage? Apple is Apple. Nothing can come close. Go and buy the real thing.

  99. Ronny @ September 1st, 2010 at 6:35 pm

    i bought one. my as well have flushed it… Keyboard types 2-3 characters at a time. battery when fully charged barely lasts 50 minutes and screen flickers constantly. tried to get refund from Feltu is like trying to deal with the IRS. Please dont buy one. Good idea but bad execution of a horrible product
