China’s XZX Group is putting out an ultrathin netbook with an 11.1 inch display that looks a bit like a Macbook Air, but looks even more like an Asus Eee PC 1008HA. The XZX netbook has your usual netbook specs including a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 procesor, GMA 950 graphics, 1GB of RAM, and a […]

Asus Eee PC 1002HA cloned, Atomic guts replaced with VIA Nano
The Asus Eee PC 1002HA is a classy looking netbook thanks to its brushed metal finish and nice wide keyboard and touchpad. But I get the sense that it’s high price tag was holding it back a bit, and the cheaper Eee PC 1000HE, 1005HA, and other more plasticky netbooks from Asus have probably been […]
HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition knocked off like a cheap handbag
The HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition netbook was one of the most expensive netbooks on the market when it was launched late last year. The $700 price tag netted you a thin and light netbook with a 10 inch screen. But the real selling point was the red color and floral pattern on the […]
Another Eee PC S101 knockoff from China
I have to say, the Eee PC S101 may be one of the sleekest looking netbooks in the Eee PC lineup, but Asus hasn’t really spent much time promoting this netbook since last year. Instead, the company has moved on to its new “Seashell” line of netbooks including the Eee PC 1005HA, Eee PC 1008HA, […]
Asus Eee PC S101 knockoff from China
That fake Acer Aspire One we spotted yesterday isn’t the only name-brand netbook clone popping up in China. The folks at Shanzhaiben have uncovered an Asus Eee PC S101 clone as well. The knockoff appears to have very similar specs to the original Eee PC S101. Both netbooks have 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel […]
Fake Acer Aspire One spotted in China
If this JingWah Digital Fashion A10 looks familiar, that’s because it’s pretty much an exact clone of the original 8.9 inch Acer Aspire One netbook. You know, except for the “Fashion A10” logo emblazoned on the netbook. Oh yeah, and the processor. While Aspire One netbooks sport Intel Atom processors, the Fashion A10 is powered […]
Gemsta Viva crams a typical notebook into a Sony Vaio P-style case
You could make the case that the Sony Vaio P is really just a glorified and overpriced netbook. But it does have some premium features like a 1600 x 768 pixel display and pretty solid build quality. The Gemsta Viva doesn’t have either of those things, but it certainly looks a lot like a Vaio […]
Wanxin H1 netbook looks familiar, underwhelming
If you accidentally mistook the Wanxin H1 netbook for an Acer Aspire One, I wouldn’t blame you. The Wanxin mini-laptop is clearly designed to look like an Aspire One. But it’s not. At all. While the Aspire One has an 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and runs Windows XP or Linux, the Wanxin […]
Chinese company pumping out netbook knockoffs
Nobody knows how to make a cheap knockoff of an electronic gadget like Chinese manufacturers. So with already low priced netbooks getting the limelight over the last few months, it should come as no surprise tat we’re seeing even cheaper Chinese versions of popular devices. Engadget managed to snap some photos of several netbook knockoffs […]
