Axiotron Unveils Modbook Pro, A Touchscreen Tablet 15-inch Unibody Macbook Pro

January 6th, 2009 7:53 PM | by Christen da Costa

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.
