The All-New MacBook Air Knockoff

MacBook Air Knockoff

We love the MacBook Air knockoff very much, especially the glowing Apple logo. The knockoff makers have today unveiled a freshly remade MacBook Air knockoff which benefits from a unibody aluminum exterior. Yup, it looks more like the original now.

There’s not much improvements on this new model. Prices start rolling at $1600 Chinese Yuan (about $235), where you’ll get a 1.66GHz Atom N450 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. Two USB ports are included, along with an SD card reader, 802.11n wireless, a headphone jack, and there’s no VGA port or HDMI-out… Sadly, you get an 11.6-inch display (1366 X 768) instead of the original 13-inch.

We wish the knockoff makers could give us better config since the Atom processor is quite weak, but we are happy with the aluminum unibody. We will get a hands-on treatment on it as soon as we see this in the market. Please stay tuned.

    I agree on the spec bump. If it has to be an Atom then put a D510 Dual Core and an ION GPU for video. :)

    Hey Mao, (Sorry for double commenting) I’m trying to get something fun and simple for my GF to take on the planes with her when she travels thats light and easy to travel with. I got 3 questions if you could answer I may purchase one from you.
    1) Do you Know if the Knockoff MackBook Air runs hot? i know all pc’s heat up but the one she currently uses can actually turn a paper brown (burnt). I need something that heats up but doesnt practically start a fire! Also, only really using it for web browsing & watching films on USB Drives.
    2) lets say this one is not for me due to the first set of “Perimeters”, Do you have a knock off pc/mac that is worth the money and can do the things i asked for up top?
    3) if non of that is possible, are the Ipad Killers (knockoffs) worth it? if so WHICH ONES cause i’ve counted 20 different models.

    Let me know man and i’ll be doing some business with ya. Please and thank you. (*looking to do this in the next 2 weeks)
