I always thought that Apple would be the only company designing Apple computers. I guess I was wrong.
The “Unofficial Mac tablet” is a MacBook heavily modified by Axiotron and Other World Computing. The features it offers are nearly the same:
- Intel Core 2 Duo (any speed offered by Apple)
- 80-200GB HDD
- Super-Drive/Combo-Drive
Some things that normal MacBooks don’t have:
- Global Positioning System
- Touchscreen capabilities
It of course lacks the normal keyboard and trackpad.
I think both companies did a great job at creating the first full featured Mac Tablet, but of course, it lacks the one feature I think every tablet should have; a multi-touch screen like the iPhone.
I’m sure if the ModBook sells well, Apple will reconsider going into the Tablet PC market, and hopefully, create a multi-touch screen tablet.
I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.

That looks pretty damn classy, perfect for artists and designers who don’t want to struggle with windows and want a little of the touch screen tablet action.
