Axiotron updates Modbook- Mac Tablet
The only Mac Tablet just got updated as Axiotron has announced a brand spanking new model for 2009. The new Modbook is a MacBook that Axiotron modifies to add tablet functionality with a pen digitizer. The new features that Axiotron is touting today:
- Better system performance, tighter integration of tablet functions with OS X
- Improved power usage, especially in standby
- Full Bluetooth performance enabling wireless keyboard usage
- Lighter 5.3 pound weight
- Improved display and writing surface
- Enhanced GPS capability
- Better shielding preventing pen interference
- Autodesk Sketchbook Express 2009
The new Modbook starts at $2,249 so a Mac Tablet will still cost you a bundle but it’s the only game in town if you need one.
I wonder how many people have actually bought this or why people should buy this, any specific reasons. Macbook and Macbook Air solves all the purpose, at least for me.
Wonder how long they will have to wait for this one? I finally cancelled my order for the previous one after months and months of delay. Not worth the hassle. I’m happy using the Scribbler.
