Modbook

Commercial sales of the Modbook are, like every Mac conversion before it, protected in the U.S. by the First-sale doctrine and similar legal concepts in most other countries.

Originally developed by Los Angeles, California-based Axiotron, Inc., the Modbook was introduced at the 2007 Macworld Conference & Expo as the first commercially available pen-enabled tablet Mac and won a Best in Show award.

[4][5][6][7] The Modbook started shipping soon after the Macworld 2008[8][1][2] and was positively received as the pen-based macOS based tablet Apple fans had been waiting for,[9] with all the components of a MacBook and a built-in Wacom digitizer for pen input, in a slate-style form factor.

The Modbook also was equipped with a new and improved LCD panel, more suited for use as a tablet computer, offering wider viewing angles and higher contrast colors compared to the original base MacBook display.

The Modbook could also be connected to an external display device using a Mini-DVI port (supports DVI, VGA, S-video, and composite video).

[16] The Modbook Pro X was conceived as a one-off, limited production run, starting off as a successful Kickstarter project at the end of 2014.
