The only Mac Tablet just got updated as Axiotron has announced a brand spanking new model for 2009. The new Modbook is a MacBook that Axiotron modifies to add tablet functionality with a pen digitizer. The new features that Axiotron is touting today:
- Better system performance, tighter integration of tablet functions with OS X
- Improved power usage, especially in standby
- Full Bluetooth performance enabling wireless keyboard usage
- Lighter 5.3 pound weight
- Improved display and writing surface
- Enhanced GPS capability
- Better shielding preventing pen interference
- Autodesk Sketchbook Express 2009
The new Modbook starts at $2,249 so a Mac Tablet will still cost you a bundle but it’s the only game in town if you need one.
