Ever wondered how Axiotron coverts Apple’s Macbook into a Modbook? The below is a time lapse video detailing the process in about 2 minutes. It’s an interesting watch and you really have to appreciate the stop motion photography and patience that has been employed.
We’ll be making our way by the Axiotron booth at CES (assuming they have one, I think they do) but until then Apple Insider pics and info will have to suffice. Axiotron, which has long modded the original Macbook into a touch tablet computer, unveiled their Macbook Pro version at MacWorld today. The Modbook Pro has the same innards as the unibody 15-inch Macbook Pro and includes Axiotron’s Synergy touchscreen, which support both pen and touch input – something Axiotron claims isn’t available on any other tablet computers. Also built-in to the tablet are GPS and a camera.
The Modbook Pro will ship May or June of 2009 and starts at $5000, or you can send in your own laptop and they’ll mod it for $3,050.
