NOTES:

a. The Axiotron Modbook is an aftermarket modification of the Apple MacBook computer. Only the specific models listed on this page are eligible to be converted into an Axiotron Modbook. Other service limitations may apply. Axiotron does not guarantee that every Apple MacBook computer can be converted. [back]

b. The Modbook supports both Mac OS X version 10.5.x (Leopard) and version 10.6.x (Snow Leopard). Customers with base systems running 10.5.x (Leopard) must purchase a license if they wish to upgrade to version 10.6.x (Snow Leopard). [back]

c. NVIDIA GeForce 9400M is used in 2.0GHz+ base systems after Jan. 2009; Intel GMA X3100 is used in 2.0GHz+ base systems between Nov. 2007 and Jan. 2009; Intel GMA 950 is used prior to that. See base system for specifications. [back]

d. See base system details for more information on minimum/maximum memory options. [back]

e. See base system details for exact Wi-Fi specifications. [back]

g. Axiotron Modbook system software can be installed/reinstalled with no additional hardware. System install/reinstall of base system's Mac OS X operating system, though rarely necessary, may require use of keyboard and/or mouse (not included with system). [back]

h. Actual weight may vary depending on system configuration. [back]

i. The conversion of your MacBook base system into an Axiotron Modbook voids any existing Apple warranty. Your 90-day Modcare warranty begins on the date of purchase, and any extended Axiotron dealer warranties begin immediately after this 90-day period. Axiotron makes no other warranty, either expressed or implied, with respect to this product. Only Axiotron Authorized Service Providers are authorized to service and repair your Modbook. [back]
