Macbook Air Clone looks just as good as the real thing!

This has to be one of the best MBA clones we have ever seen. Unlike previous attempts to mimic Apple’s ultra-thin laptop, this clone is machined from a single piece of alloy and gets a very impressive hardware specification.

    I just purchased a Quad Band Dual SIM iPhone look-a-like and I’m rather surprised at some of its functionaility for less than $40. Not the most durable feeling device but at this price, who is complaining.
