68030 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 actually it looks like a pita to use. like using that pen to type on that tiny onscreen keyboard... or the handwriting. but that may just be me. i find this a rather inconvenient way to use a computer. either give it voice control - which might be not so handy in certain circumstances, or give it a touchscreen, where you can display an ever so slightly visible keyboard overlayed over whatever else is displayed. to me these kinda a tablet pcs are useless. see what it took him to start a program? doh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43216-modbook-in-action/#findComment-309100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soündless Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 i would get one if i had a few thousand extra $$. i think this would be better for old people, i have noticed that my grandparents like to tiuch the screen instead of use the mouse i think the kind that have the keyboard but can be swung around to a tablet would be much better because you have some things that would require a tablet, and some things that would require a keyboard and mouse Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43216-modbook-in-action/#findComment-309109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you take the price of the ModBook versus a standard TabletPC, those figure's are surprisingly, not that much higher. When you consider the fact that it's a legitimate Apple computer, and that each has been made to order, there's no real challenge in accepting the numbers. What is a little sad is that it has no docking station with it. On top of that issue, there is a question as to whether it supports screen rotation. This has been one of the many issues we have with the Fujitsu HacBook T series 421X models - The screen type isn't recognised, so we can't rotate it as we would on an Apple Cinema Display, or on a Windows install.

Alucard! Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 i like that it is small but the pen there... just not my type of computer. I prefer macbook pro best for now..

Urbz Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 well it's very nice and sleek...but no. I don't like the fact that it has a digitizer and not a real touchscreen.... there's a real dealbreaker. I can typer faster than I can write, so this is useless for me! -Urby Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43216-modbook-in-action/#findComment-309927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickg331 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 they jacked up the price for the features though... and its only stock configurations of macbooks. if jobs ever had the urge apple could do a lot better (it is nice though...)
