정의의 느티나무숲

Designed in California by Axiotron’s team of German and American engineers, the ModBook™ is at its core an after-market hardware modification kit, which allows standard off-the-shelf Apple® MacBook™ systems to be converted into high-end slate-style tablet computers. With its condensed form factor and integrated pen-based user experience the Axiotron ModBook is the ultimate companion for applications and situations where a keyboard only gets in the way.

Built for mobile users, artists, students and professionals, the ModBook enables its user to draw and write directly on the screen, while the handwriting recognition builtinto Mac OS® X Tiger not only turns hand scribbles into text in every application, but also provides extended control of the system through gesture recognition. The ModBook comes standard with built-in iSight™ camera and an integrated CD/DVD combo drive that can be upgraded to a 8.5 GB DVD burner, and it is the only portable Mac solution that also features an optional built-in Global Positioning System (GPS).

Both the ModBook’s top shell and the interior display frame are built from top grade, aircraft quality magnesium alloy, giving the ModBook superior structural strength for almost every situation.

Its satin textured top shell is plated with chrome over a set of copper and nickel layers. This provides for an extremely scratch resistant and aesthetically pleasing surface, while also offering optimum protection against oxidation.

Both the LCD panel and the builtin iSight™ camera are protected by replaceable screen covers made from Chemically Strengthened (CS) glass. Compared to cheaper non-glass-based solutions found in most tablet computers, CS glass provides superior optical and aging properties as well as far improved scratch resistance.

The display screen cover has been treated on both sides for optimized optical properties. The LCD facing (in)side features an anti-reflective coating to increase the light transmissivity for a brighter image. The user facing (out)side has been acid treated to achieve an etched surface, carefully calibrated to match the display resolution. This provides for a crisp, paper-like writing sensation, while keeping perceived haze and light refractions to a minimum.

The Axiotron ModBook is built using the unique digitizer technology from WACOM®, the industry leader in graphics tablets for professional artists and consumers. The ModBook pen digitizer is:

• Fast - 133 position updates per second
• Accurate - 20x display resolution
• Sensitive - 256 pressure levels
• Efficient - No batteries required

The included Axiotron Digitizer Pen features a replaceable pen tip, 2 programmable side buttons plus an eraser. Requiring no batteries or magnets, the pen always feels light and nimble and due to the radio-based digitizer technology, users can even write with their hand resting on the screen. This technology also allows the cursor to be controlled while the pen is hovering over the screen, providing for an intuitive, mouse-like interface with a zero learning curve.

The ModBook is fully compatible with Apple’s Inkwell, a Mac OS® X Tiger feature that provides system level handwriting and gesture recognition instantly to all Mac applications.

The Modbook is the only portable Mac solution that features an optional built-in Global Positioning System (GPS). The optional Axiotron Modbook GPS Module is based on the industry leading SiRFstarTM III chipset for faster first location fix times and improved tracking capabilities in challenging urban and outdoor environments.

The Modbook is equipped with a new and improved LCD panel offering wider viewing angles (Horiz./Vert.: 100°/90° vs. 90°/55°) and a higher contrast ratio (500:1 vs. 400:1) for darker blacks and stronger, more saturated, lush colors, while maintaining the same resolution (1280x800 pixel) and aspect ratio (113 ppi) of the original MacBook™ display. The included ModBook ColorSync™ profile offers a solid base calibration which can be adjusted or replaced using the Mac OS X Tiger display calibration tools.

While the ModBook utilizes the original iSight camera of the MacBook base system, it is mounted slightly tilted downwards to better frame the face of the user.

The ModBook is the only slate-style tablet computer with an internal CD/DVD combo drive, which in addition can be upgraded to a 6x DVD burner with up to 8.5 GB capacity. In combination with its 13.3” wide screen LCD, this also earns the ModBook the title of “Largest Screen Portable DVD Entertainment System”.

Inconspicuous locking points, designed into the magnesium top shell, allow the ModBook to be securely placed in optional multi-functional mounts i.e. for use with VESA compatible desktop arms.

Converting an Apple MacBook into a Tablet Mac using the Axiotron ModBook kit is best performed by a trained technician and will void the original Apple MacBook warranty. The Axiotron ModBook is therefore only available through Authorized ModBook Solution Providers (AMSP) who not only perform the conversion, but also include a comprehensive 1 year warranty for the complete solution. Selected AMSPs also offer optional 2 year warranty extension plans, providing added ease of mind.
