ModBook Pro Tablet

It looks like a well built and designed tablet. The dual boot feature is sure to please a lot of people. What you guys think of this tablet? I would like to get my hands on one they are released.

Wacom is a great product so it might be decent. Although I'm not an OSX fan.

Apple might not care as they are still profiting from the MacBook Pro being used.

I really don't get it, a third party modding a non tablet OS to me would be like one patch away from not working anymore if Apple changes something on their end. Seems like an expensive tablet, would rather just get an iPad with a keyboard or pen device.

Well apple has always been proactive with their design so i have a feeling they'll send the legal team in against people modding it regardless that this product looks good.

The company started doing this four years ago. I think because it requires the company to buy a laptop then convert it, its no biggie. If the company made their own tablets and loaded it like a hackintosh then yeah legal would be all over it.

Come to think of it, it did happen a few years ago, a company was selling Mac OS X clones and got shut down.

Yeah, I agree with you. I doubt they will care all that much since people are still paying to use their OS. Also, wouldn't they have by now caught wind of this by now and shut down the making of the tablet?
