Axiotron’s Modbook is a slate-style tablet that sports a Wacom pen-enabled display. It offers 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, which happens to be twice that of any tablet PC on the market.
The Modbook has a widescreen display of 13.3-inches. It thus offers wider viewing angles and a higher contrast ratio, resulting in darker blacks and more vivid saturated colors, and at the same time maintains the same resolution and aspect ratio of the original MacBook display.
Further it integrates the Apple MacBook PC’s user-friendliness into a very smart design. Lucky Macworld visitors got a chance to play around with the Modbook, and they were impressed by the fast, accurate and intuitive user experience.
The Modbook’s top shell and interior display frame are made from magnesium alloy, lending a rugged feel, while the triple layer of metal plating offers a scratch resistant and pleasant to touch surface
