Keepin' it real fake: 'MacBook Pro' runs 'OS X,' dodges questions on 'legitimacy'

mbp.jpg[/img]Oh, sure -- we've seen a litany of knockoff MacBook Pro
units, but how's about one that actually ships with OS X? As the level
of nerve skyrockets towards infinity, an unnamed manufacturer in an
unnamed section of China seems to be hawking a lookalike MBP with Snow
Leopard onboard -- a feat that even Psystar couldn't achieve for long.
As the story goes, around $466 buys you a 14-inch machine with a
paltry 1.66GHz Atom D510 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and
NVIDIA's Ion 2 graphics platform. Oh, and a glowing Apple logo on the
lid. Unfortunately, the dodgy specifications list seems somewhat
reluctant to "admit" that "OS X" is actually loaded on, but it's
there. Trust us. We think.
