By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 16th 2009 No Comments

Shenzhen MacBook Air clone packs 3G, removable battery, $249 price tag
By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 16th 2009 No CommentsMacBook Air clones coming out of China aren’t in short supply, but the constant refreshing has at least pushed them beyond Apple’s official model in some respects. Shanzai have been taking a look at the Shenzhen Tong Men Tech Company’s latest offering, and while it lacks some of the official Air’s style, its removable battery, integrated 3G, relative surfeit of ports and $249 price tag go a long way to making up for it.
