The Shanzhai vendors have announced a $290 MacBook Air "inspired" laptop which features some improvements over the original.
Improvements:
1. Full metal jacket for enhanced rigidity and better thermal sinking.
2. It features a frameless 11-inch screen instead of the Mac Air’s 13-inch screen, for increased mobility.

4. The dimensions of the device are 277x187x25mm; slightly thicker than the Mac Air but also lighter at 1.33kg (MacBook Air is 1.36kg).
