Tablet Dengan OS X, ModBook Pro, Hadir November Mendatang

Axiotron yang kemudian berganti nama menjadi ModBook Inc. kembali hadir dengan perangkat barunya, ModBook Pro. Tablet yang banyak disebut oleh media sebagai Franken-Mac ini dibanderol dengan harga cukup mahal, $3,499 per unit dan siap untuk dikirimkan kepada para pelanggan di US bulan November mendatang.

ModBook Pro menggunakan OS X Mountain Lion sebagai sistem operasinya. Ia memiliki prosesor yang dapat ditingkatkan hingga Core i7, 16 GB RAM, dan SSD hingga 480 GB. Bahkan, kita bisa menginstall Windows 7 di dalamnya. Andreas Haas mengatakan bahwa konsumen menyukai produk ini.

“The customer reaction to the Modbook Pro has exceeded our expectations by far. In particular, there has been a huge amount of interest from artists and creative professionals who seem to like our vision for the Modbook Pro [as] the most powerful portable tool to increase their productivity,” Haas told Ars. “Because interest has been so much higher than expected, we will be focusing all our energies on ramping up production this fall to reduce wait times for the Modbook Pro as much and as quickly as possible.”

“Almost everyone has an iPad or iPhone. I wouldn’t want to live without it. But as a company, we are looking at a very distinct niche. The creative industry does not have a product that meets their need to draw on a real computer’s screen and have it be portable,” he said. “It’s just not out there.”
