Not so ultimate Ultrabook: MacBook Air KIRF features mini-HDMI port, 3.5 hour battery

Hey, who wiped the [MacBook Air](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/25/macbook-air-review-mid-2011/) logo off? Nah, we're kidding -- it's a [KIRF](http://www.engadget.com/tag/kirf/). Sure, Apple's svelte 13-incher may have a duo of USB ports and an SD card slot, but this rig adds in a 3-in-1 card reader and and an odd, combo RJ45 / VGA jack (which we assume needs an adapter). For good measure, you'll also find a mini-HDMI output, although, with 3.5 hours of battery life it may prove problematic for getting through a 1080p movie marathon without nearby power. The alloy-encased lappy has a 1.86GHz Intel Atom [N2800](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/four-atom-chips-sneak-out-of-intel-soon-to-appear-in-netbooks-a/) CPU with a GMA3600 integrated GPU, 2GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD and a 13.3-inch LED display sporting a [ho-hum resolution](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/asus-zenbook-ux31-review/) (for a 13-incher) of 1366 x 768, just like the [11-inch MacBook Air](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/26/irl-the-stuff-engadget-editors-are-using-in-real-life/). Amazingly, this knock-off weighs merely .01 kilograms more than its real counterpart at 1.36 kgs (about three pounds), while being only 0.1 cm thicker.* **Giz-China* expects this Ultrabook-wannabe by Shenzen Technology Ltd to land on Chinese shelves sometime in November for about $471. Cue Apple's [lawyers](http://www.engadget.com/tag/samsung,apple,lawsuit) in 3... 2...
