There have been plenty of knock off, clone, fake and Shanzhai Apple products released over the year. From iPhone 4s to amazing Macbook Air clones! But we rarely get to see a MacbookPro knock-off!
This MacbookProclone from Shenzhen Rahway, looks just like the 13.3-inch MacbookPro I am currently typing on now. Even the construction features high tech (for Shanzhai) alloy and magnesium materials, giving the 20mm thick clone an overall weight of only 1.4 kg (3.08 pounds).
Actually, at 20mm thick this MacbookProclone is actually around 4mm thinner than a real Macbook Pro, but still thicker than a Macbook Air (or a MBA clone). However, to get this alloy, Apple embossed laptop so thin, they have had to omit the optical drive.

Visuals are taken care of by a 13.3 inch back-lit screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768.
As mentioned above the chassis is made of alloy and even features a back-lit Apple logo on the lid!
As with the real MacbookPro this knock off comes in the standard bare alloy look, but also in this rather festive anodised red colour!
