Share ThisAxiotron ModBook Reviewed: First Mac Tablet has impressive engineering, but too heavy
An impressive feat of engineering, the ModBook from Axiotron is the first tablet for Mac users. The ModeBook is well-constructed but lacks a keyboard and rotating screen orientation, said to be most basic function a tablet should have.
The good: Ingenious design. Marrying slate tablet to bottom half of a stock MacBook. Built-in GPS. Wacom digitizer for accurate input.
The bad: Screen is stuck in landscape mode. Very heavy. Big premium over original MacBook cost. Shorter battery life than the MacBook. Sending e-mail is a challenge.
The bottom line: The engineering behind Axiotron’s Tabletized MacBook is simply impressive but the target audience is likely very small, especially since Windows-based convertible tablets do so much more.
Price: Starting at $2,279
