This “looks” great and buyers who don't know better will look at these in the store next to the Macbook Air and ask why they would pay double the price for a laptop that looks the same but runs an O/S that they are not familiar with (NO Mac OS vs Windows OS war comments please).

Now all we need is for a bunch of other PC manufacturers to do the same and flood the market with exact clones of the Macbook Air form factor and there will be no getting away from the fact that the Macbook air is not the best choice.

I'd love to see Apples sales figures over the last quarter compared to the same time last year.
