Keepin' it real fake, part CCXXV: Fashion A10 netbook strikes a pose, Acer-style

Sadly, plenty of folks just can't seem to shake the notion that "netbooks" and "high fashion" go hand in hand -- and clearly the KIRFmeisters of Shenzhen and environs are no exception. As if that couldn't be any clearer, the kids at Shanzai.com have clued us in on the JingWah Digital Fashion A10, a note-by-note replica of the Aspire One. Aside from the 1.6GHz VIA C7-M CPU, the similarities are striking, including: an 8.9-inch TFT display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, 160GB hard drive, and 1GB of RAM. Sure, it's no powerhouse, but if the price is right it'll make a pretty decent accessory. In fact, throw on your Momenta necklace and slap on a pair of 4GB Calvin Kleins and you'll be able to strut past any velvet rope your encounter (provided the line at the door leads to a LAN party or the BiMonSciFiCon). Theme music after the break.

U R A PUNK ASS.

LOL!!!!

Posts like the 5 or 6 above are the reason I love Engadget!!!!!

The place where hilariousness never...........starts.

KIRFmeisters must have "there" kids name these things.

[htd @ Jul 15th 2009 2:09PM]

what's so fake about a rebadged OEM product?

[BigTeebo @ Jul 15th 2009 2:17PM]

Probably made in the same factory as the Aspire One. Just a different badge on it. "It's got sony guts!"

[HowardLive @ Jul 15th 2009 3:24PM]

"No, I said LIKE Sony guts!"

Nice SNL sketch Tom Hanks did there. And being a New York native... yeah, I've seen stores that worked exactly that way.

[joaquindel @ Jul 15th 2009 2:17PM]

That is a very fashionable KIRF.
I would probably rock it if the "Fashion A10" logo said, "SAMSUNG".

bimonscificon=awesomeness, but they only let you in with alienware gera

Didn't the Cloudbook have a C7-M and a hole in the middle? It's been so long, I forget...

[aastaneh @ Jul 15th 2009 4:08PM]

It did. Not just that, but a gaping hole in terms of Linux support for the c7-m processor. The cloudbook was(and is) unusable on any current Linux builds. Works on XP just fine, of course.. :-(

[Trynsiel @ Jul 15th 2009 2:59PM]

The flowers are too big. The compact size is important damnit!

[hmmwv @ Jul 15th 2009 3:20PM]

Shanzhaiben.com is a site dedicated to KIRF notebook/netbooks.

[konshuss @ Jul 15th 2009 8:08PM]

It says 'Atom' at the bottom of the page in the specs. So are they lying about having an Atom processor or did Engadget get this one wrong?

[Art @ Jul 15th 2009 3:59PM]

ironically, the build quality is probably better

[yokel @ Jul 15th 2009 4:57PM]

Pretty sad to think that but I agree. The Aspire is a piece of shit from a quality stand point.

[ThatChrisInAtlanta @ Jul 18th 2009 9:59PM]

As long as you are putting real fake netbooks into designer jeans, shouldn't they be Calvin Clones?
