MacBook Air Knockoff is Much More Affordable

Apple’s MacBook Air is a wonderful notebook which makes me fall in love at first sight. It’s amazingly thin, but at $1499, it’s not for anyone who still thinks that their MacBooks work just fine. For cheapskates like me, I will get one which looks like it, with a much more affordable price. Here’s a pretty awesome knockoff which suit your needs. It has the specs of a netbook, a 12-inch display, mini-HDMI, and slightly thicker than Apple’s MacBook Air. Together with the $1500 RMB (about $219) price point, that’s appealing all-around.
