Sleek design, sturdy construction
Sturdy and durable, the Modbook Pro departs from traditional enclosure design in which parts are attached using frames and shells. The Modbook Pro instead employs a unique AlphaBody™ design that provides superior structural strength by attaching components to a single core cut from a block of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum.
Aspects of the design are base system-independent, allowing for rapid future adjustments to the ever-changing landscape of compatible base systems.
Revolutionary enclosure system
Built from a unique enclosure conversion kit, the Modbook Pro incorporates and completely encases the original hardware of an original Apple® MacBook® Pro 13.3-inch base system. Its Wacom® digitizer delivers 1024 levels of pen pressure sensitivity for precise control of renderings. And its ForceGlass™ screen provides an etched, paper-emulating drawing surface.
To accomplish the inclusion of the MacBook Pro’s hardware, the Modbook Pro uses the novel ExoConnect™ system. ExoConnect is the primary high-speed connection linking the Modbook Pro components to one of the MacBook Pro’s two standard USB 3.0 ports. This creates the most seamless integration possible while the smart enclosure design permanently seals the connection and the port itself within the Modbook Pro, leaving all the other ports unobstructed.
In essence a fully standards-compliant USB device, the Modbook Pro closely follows the Apple Design Guidelines for USB high-performance peripherals. It just gives the word “peripheral” a whole new meaning.
Natural drawing
Durable and scratch-resistant, the Modbook Pro’s etched ForceGlass™ screen offers a pencil-to-paper feel for a natural drawing and writing experience.
Easy to prop up
Users can easily prop up the Modbook Pro on any side up to 50 degrees and its 3D-GripFeet™ will prevent the machine from slipping.
Workspace optimized
The Modbook Pro has a crisp 13.3-inch (diagonal) display with a native 1280 by 800 pixel resolution. The display, digitizer and ForceGlass screen assembly are flush-mounted, resulting in a completely level drawing area that optimizes on-screen workspace.
Simple pen storage
The Modbook Pro’s pen garage offers a quick and easy storage spot for the digitizer pen so it’s not misplaced, and the magnetic catch keeps the pen in place
The Modbook Pro is an enclosure conversion kit that transforms an original Apple MacBook Pro notebook-style computer into a tablet-style computer. Apple Inc.’s one-year warranty on the MacBook Pro base system is voided by the conversion and replaced with the one-year Modbook Pro Protection Plan, which covers the entire hardware solution, including the base system. Modbook Inc. is not affiliated with, nor is the Modbook Pro sponsored or endorsed by, Apple Inc.
1. Construction of the Modbook Pro requires permanent removal of the base system’s enclosure, including the display (with the FaceTime® camera) and the keyboard/trackpad assembly. Hard drive, RAM and other configuration options vary and may not always be available.
