Apple The modbook... tablet MacBook

I did a search on the forums and didn't find anything relating to this:

Its a modded Apple Mac Book, with a Wacom digitizer used along with a redesigned body and layout... to make the world's first Apple tablet PC...
Here's a video of it in action:

It was demoed at MacWorld 07 and won best in show... they're taking pre-orders available later this year...

 

Really nice.

 

i wish it would follow exchange rates on the price as the screen wacoms are 1000+ euros cant remember exactly how much.
id very much like that though.

 

Meh, personally I think a tablet PC that size needs to have a keyboard. If you're going to go for the tablet-only option it should be justified by a compact design- UMPCs for example.

Any idea what sort of screen they're using. Most Apples have amazing screens, it's the main reason why I would get one.

 

Isnt it the apple screen with some wacom touch thingy installed on top ?

 

No he says in the video they "remove the old screen and put in a newer, sturdier screen".

 

It's a completely new panel with greater contrast depth as well as a glass panel installed above that. The Wacom digitizer is installed below the LCD panel and that gives you that great tablet touch sensitivity that all the rage these days...
