Praised by reviewers as "versatile" and "sturdy and sleek," the Modbook is the pioneering slate-style Mac® tablet that lets you draw and write directly on the screen. It combines Axiotron's hardware and software technology, a Wacom® Penabled® digitizer and an Apple® MacBook® to create a powerful tablet computer like no other.
Who's it for?
Built for creative professionals, students and general users, the Modbook has a condensed form factor and integrated pen-based user experience that offer unprecedented flexibility and control over the creative process.
Working in Mac OS® X, Modbook users can draw on the screen using popular applications like Autodesk® SketchBook® Express (standard on every Modbook) and Adobe® Photoshop® — or use any other Mac-based application.
What makes it different?
The Modbook is the only Mac tablet available. And it is a fully functioning computer, not a plug-in tablet device with lots of cables and cords. You can sit down anywhere and work with it.
Unlike Apple's iPad™ mobile digital device, the Modbook is a full-fledged, pen-enabled tablet computer system with 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity that can produce high-resolution, pro-quality creative deliverables.
It has an etched ForceGlass™ screen to simulate paper, giving you a natural experience when using the included digitizer pen. Its magnesium frame and top shell give it superior structural strength, yet it is only slightly heavier than its original MacBook base system — the perfect portable creative tool!

Why the Modbook?
There has never been a product quite like the Modbook: a tablet that's an aftermarket modification of another computer!
But the Modbook's winning combination of the Mac platform, Wacom's industry-leading pen tablet hardware and Axiotron's own technology has gained adherents among leading creative professionals, students and educators, and general users.
The Modbook is now available for as low as $899* if you have your own MacBook converted. And every Modbook ships** with an additional (second) digitizer pen — a $50 value!
*Actual dealer prices may vary. The Axiotron Modbook is an aftermarket modification of the Apple MacBook computer. The quoted MSRP of $1,849 for a Modbook complete system assumes a new 2.13GHz Apple MacBook base system with a price of $950; actual specifications and price may vary depending on specific base system used. Axiotron does not guarantee that every Apple MacBook computer can be converted into an Axiotron Modbook.
**Beginning March 2, 2010, the Modbook ships with an additional (second) digitizer pen kit that includes a programmable digitizer pen and nibs. This promotional offer is available while supplies last.
