Axiotron Modbook: Designed for the Designers
By Dean • Oct 27th, 2008 • Category: UncategorizedThe Axiotron Modbook can be appropriately introduced as a modified edition of the Apple MacBook (13 inch). The tablet PC is of great appeal to Mac-based illustrators, as well as the graphic designers who like to work with a pen rather than a keyboard.
The screen of the slate tablet features three layers of different metals: copper, nickel and magnesium alloy. This jacket gives it a chrome-like look, which is perfectly blended with the plastic base. Moreover, the screen-top is shielded with a scratch-resistant glass. No doubt, the material is really fancy but it makes the Modbook a little heavier than the MacBook 13-inch.
The major specifications of the Modbook include a DVD burner, a magnetic adapter, two USB ports and a FireWire port. It also features the iSight webcam and a built-in GPS module. The Wacom screen is very accurate to work with and the digitized pen can be used with ease and clarity. There is hardly any gap between writing or creating something and seeing it on the screen. This flawless movement is actually a result of the Wacom technology and 512 pen-pressure sensitivity levels.
Taken as a whole, the Axiotron Modbook is the right choice for receiving all the benefits of a Mac operating system, like the Apple MacBook Pro, in the Tablet form. Available through an online retailer, Other World Computing, the Modbook offers a warranty on components and labor for a period of one year.
