Technology: ModBook

I'm sure most graphic designers are now aware of the fantastic Cintiq Wacom tablet available to the market, and it's amazing uses for us and all other individuals interested in pen touch screen technology. If you haven't, please go here now: Cintiq

But what I am about to discuss is even more amazing then this super fantastic tablet, which is very expensive... What follows is the ModBook and all its glory.

Axiotron first announced a Mac computer integrated with a similar Wacom Cintiq tablet in 2007. After some initial set backs, it has finally arrived and it is really truly amazing. It is a flat screen, that has all the uses of a touch tablet, as well as all the hard drive and capabilities of a macbook. It also uses al normal software like Photoshop. It also includes writing recognition software, allowing you to write with the tablet on the screen. However, you can also easily attach a keyboard or any other external devices to it.

This amazing piece of metal and technology is unique in the mac world, and the price starts around ~$2300. But considering it works perfectly well from the mac portion and the tablet portion, buying both combined seems like a pretty good deal.
