    Axiotron updates its ModBook Mac tablet

    The Modbook, Newly Updated for 2009!
    Axiotron's award-winning tablet Mac® gets revitalized with system performance improvements and new features.

    Praised by reviewers as "cleverly designed" and "impressively versatile," the Modbook is the revolutionary slate-style tablet that enables users to draw, sketch and write directly on the screen. To create the Modbook, Axiotron integrates its own hardware and software technology with a state-of-the-art Wacom® Penabled® digitizer and an Apple® MacBook® computer.



    Customers can place an order request for a complete Axiotron Modbook solution (including an Apple MacBook base system), or transform their existing computer through Axiotron Modservice™.

    Re: Axiotron updates its ModBook Mac tablet

    Improved MacBook Compatibility

    Better system performance: With its redesigned Axiotron hardware controller board, the Modbook offers improved performance, a quicker boot time for the Axiotron system software and smoother integration with the Mac OS® X operating system.
    Improved power usage: Get longer battery life with the more efficient Axiotron hardware controller board, including significantly less power drain in sleep mode.
    Full Bluetooth® connectivity: Pair a keyboard or mouse just as you would on your MacBook.



    Lightweight and Scratch-Resistant Coating

    Axiotron's QuadCoat™ process — adapted from auto industry techniques — helps protect the Modbook's sturdy-yet-lightweight magnesium top shell while lowering the Modbook's weight.
    With the new liquid metallic coating process and other changes the weight of the highly portable Modbook decreases to 5.3 pounds.


    Enhanced Functionality

    Improved display characteristics and drawing surface: Axiotron's new proprietary bonding process removes the gap between the AnyView™ LCD panel and ForceGlass™ screen cover. Result: better contrast ratio (especially outdoors), firmer drawing surface and reduced pen-to-cursor parallax.
    Enhanced GPS capability: The reconfigured GPS antenna obtains a four-satellite fix in an unobstructed outdoor area more easily, enabling the Modbook’s GPS module to furnish coordinate data to third-party GPS applications with greater reliability.
    Better pen tablet performance: Specially designed internal Mu-metal® shielding boosts pen tablet responsiveness by greatly decreasing the potential for interference from electronic noise sources.



    New Pre-Installed Software

    Autodesk® SketchBook® Express 2009, an industry leading sketching and drawing application, is now exclusively available on the Modbook as part of its standard software package. Axiotron plans additional software enhancements for all Modbook users in early 2009.



    Improved Serviceability

    The Modbook’s new bonding process, as well as other refined assembly procedures, have been designed to optimize field serviceability by the recently expanded Axiotron Authorized Service Provider network who can provide servicing and repair at convenient locations across the U.S. and Canada.
