This is yet another Shanzai. For those who are new to shanzai,
Shanzai is the chinese name for pirated and fake. It originated as the
name for thieves and robbers in the ancient times.
But now it is the name for Cheap chinese fake of consumer electronics from the western world.
Today we look at the shanzai version of the famous Mac Air.
Well this one is not to be ignored as a cheap low qulaity duplicate,
it hides some features which is wanted in the original Mac Air.
To start with the cost of this clone is 260US$ (13000 /- INR)!! which is atleast a grand ( 1000$) cheap than the original.
The hardware is completely different, no wonder it is some mm thicker than the original.
It runs on Intel Atom processor and the usual 945GSE chipset.
It lacks the Nvidia ION graphics processor found in the original.
So you cannot expect a breath taking graphics from intel 950 GPU.
It boasts a Ethernet port and additional USB 2.0 ports both of which are lacking on the original Mac Air. It also has a HDMI port, yeah you guess right...it's not there in Mac Air original too .
The downside is the build quality of the Mac Air fake. well the quality is not too low as you think but of course it cannot match the great Apple in terms of quality. Well if you ask me neither does the great Dell's,Hp's and so can match the Apple when it comes to quality.
Here is the complete comparision of the specs of both clone and original.
To sum up :
Plus : Has an ethernet port, additional USB ports, replaceable battery,HDMI port, 260$ !!
Minus: Build quality, Nvidia ION GPU, No support-warranty
what so ever.
From the sources it looks like it comes with windows xp, Well of course it can be a Hackintosh in no time..
