TESO MacBook Air Clone

At long last, we've been waiting for a MacBook Air clone to arrive for a fair bit of time and here we have the MacBook Air TESO - a near exact replica of the phenomenally slim Apple MacBook Air, albeit it comes with surprisingly better air vents at the bottom compared to the original. The display of the TESO is smaller though at just 12.1" whereas the actual MacBook Air has 13" of viewing real estate goodness. Chances are this won't be a high-powered machine and rely on Intel's Atom processor instead, although you will get an added storage boost in terms of a 250GB hard drive. No idea on just how many people the TESO clone will fool before they catch onto the fact that this is but a replica of the MacBook Air
