The custom Mac tablet, the Modbook, is back—this time with a souped-up, 15.4-inch display and the latest Mac hardware under the hood.</p><p>
To make this dream a reality, however, Modbook is asking that you fund a Kickstarter campaign (http://kck.st/UvW6jn) for the Modbook Pro X, which will cost a minimum of $2,000 apiece. That funding will buy you a place on Modbook’s assembly line; company executives hope to deliver the first Modbook tablets in 2015.</p><p>
The Modbook has been around for about seven years, when Axiotron and Other World Computing teamed up to deliver the first Mac tablet (http://www.macworld.com/article/1055066/modbook_fl.html) at Macworld. Three years later in 2010, however, Apple released the first iPad, a much smaller tablet powered by Apple’s iOS. Subsequent upgrades (http://www.pcworld.com/article/155031/article.html) yielded the Modbook Pro. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2459920/modbook-launches-kickstarter-campaign-for-modbook-pro-x-mac-tablet.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
