Still remember the Windows 8-powered iMac knockoff? It is now officially launched. The main specs remain the same: a 21.5-inch 1920×1080 display, 4GB RAM and Windows 7/8. But with the processor, you may to choose go with a 3.3GHz Intel i3 dual-core CPU or a 2.9GHz Intel i5 quad-core CPU. With the internal memory, a 500GB hard drive (5400 rpm) or a 128GB SSD. More info after the break.

The model name for this iMac knockoff is LAVI S21i. It has an aluminum enclosure. At its very thinnest point (the edge), it is just 0.9 cm thin. Comparing with Apple’s New iMac (0.5 cm thin), it’s only 0.4 cm thicker. Other than that, it has a built-in HD camera, WiFi connectivity, four USB 2.0 ports, a VGA port and a LAN port.

The vendor is offering this iMac-like AIO desktop PC at 3,350 yuan (US$540) or 3,850 yuan (US$621), where the 21-inch Apple’s new iMac will be released in December at $1,299. Of course, Apple’s new iMac is reasonable for being more expensive than this machine, such as USB 3.0 ports, Thunderbolts, Nvidia GeForce graphics processor, slimmer body.

If you wish to get one, send Mr. Hong an email: szhhw@yahoo.com.cn.

    Je ferais bien passer le message, mais je suis très étonné de ne pas trouver d’adresse pour le site du constructeur.
    Il faudrait envoyer un mail pour avoir des infos? C’est peu commun.
    Ca sent l’arnaque ou bien?

    It looks really good except for the big “lavi” logo.
    Sideways it looks even more elegant than the new iMac because it doesn’t have that huge bulb.

    i like how they put the ports on the side rather than on the back
