substitute for Macbook air

What is the closest laptop substitute for a Macbook around AU$500?

You want to replace a $900US ($1100 AUD) Macbook air with a $500AUD Windows based laptop?
Yeah....

Yes, don't we all know that Macbooks are overpriced. And i wrote 'the closest substitute', that is saying 'the closest'. No need to make a comparison unless you know a laptop that suits to my requirements.

Apple stuff is overpriced. Just not that overpriced.

One of these, maybe? http://www.computeralliance.com.au/asus-x200ma-ct334h-11.6-touch-pentium-notebook-windows-8-save-$100

Crappy screen and moderately slow CPU, but it's at least thin and light.
