I'm not sure the guys who reviewed this thing know what they're talking about.

* They called the trackpad a 'mouse pad'
* They were impressed that the 'mouse pad' performed as expected
* The review says the real Macbook Air uses NVIDIA Ion - it doesn't.
* They say "The clone has a nifty pull down cover that reveals HDMI, audio and that extra USB port" ... you mean like this? http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/mac/macbookair/review/ports.jpg

I didn't say the MBA had HDMI. They suggested the MBA use the drop-down flap design, which it does.

Actually, the new Macbook Airs DO use Nvidia Ion.

Strange that that page makes no mention of ION. Let me remind you what that is:

"Nvidia Ion is a system/motherboard platform that includes Nvidia's GeForce 9400M (MCP79) chipset, DDR3-1066 or DDR2-800 SDRAM, and the Intel Atom processor."
