Here’s a new and improved version of the Apple Macbook Air clones we’ve seen coming out of Shenzhen. This model from Shenzhen Tong Men Tech Co. will be hitting the market this week but here’s a quick look at a pre-release device our sister site Shanzhaiben.com was able to get their hands on. The three big differences this product has compared to other Macbook Air clones we’ve covered are: 1 – the removable battery (a big plus for those of you who despair at the gradual but relentless degradation of your fixed battery devices), 2 – a SIM card slot, giving the device a handy 3G connectivity option, and 3 – a card reader. All fairly useful additions I’m sure you’ll agree.
Specifications: CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 RAM: 1GB DDR2 HDD: 160GB Screen: 12.1-inch Battery: Removable 3500-3800mAh, ~2.5hrs Ports: USBx2, HDMIx1, LAN, Card-reader, Audio For the last few months in China, the Macbook clones have been the hottest netbook item on the shanzhai menu, thanks in part to Apple fever but also to the ready availability of the Mac Air chassis around which the vendors can build these devices for relatively little cost. The Shanzhai Apple clone family has moved on quite considerably from 3 or 4 months ago when all we had were exact replicas of the original devices (including the frustratingly irremovable battery and lack of Ethernet port) to the stage we’re at now with 10,11,12.1, and 13.3” Mac clones featuring a full array of ports and even full metal chassis. Western Opportunity Analysis: As with the other Apple clones we’ve covered, this device will certainly be popular with Western consumers, and the battery, 3G option and LAN port are definitely improvements on the original devices’ configuration. Conclusions:
No website available for the manufacturer, but if you’re interested in getting a closer look at one of these, leave a comment or send an email to info@shanzai.com and I can send you the company’s contact details. Related articles |
