You can't beat my Windows XP tablet.
After I received a windows convertible laptop with wacom pen. I kept longing for a pen-based input on Mac, like most things in my life by the time I can afford something they don't make it anymore. so I was thinking convertible Toshiba Toughbook hackintosh but that's even more out of my price range. So I just settle for VNC access and now that I have a new iPad with pencil sidecar is pretty cool. the wacom pen tech was pretty cool for the time and still is as it mimics physical drawing with a slightly less abrasive surface.
I want one of these!!!!
sublime text is an ide
cAn iT rUn LiNuX?!?!?!?!?!?!
Anyone remember this redundant line from the Windows 2000 startup screen? “Built on NT Technology” New technology technology.
This is actually the episode that got me into MLaATR. I finished the whole show in 3 days lmao
Given the guts of the Apple Silicon DTK, I’m sure Apple already had an iPad Pro running macOS adequately (with all the UI & UX tweaks lifted from the ModBook via an Apple Pencil), given that Apple seems to loathe the idea of a touchscreen laptop an obvious intermediate device between the iPad & MacBook would be some kind of “MacPad” - kinda like an “Apple Surface”, but with better mobile app support than the Microsoft offering - basically an iPad Pro with an M1 in the place of the current A12Z (& probably a second USB-C port).
My only takeaway: “This thing is getting hot.” “Mind if I feel it?”
Sublime Text is code editor
That girl is so incredibly cringe. I have to stop watching.
the swiping away the eraser junk lol
God, I remember seeing ads for this thing back in MacWorld
Mom, can we get tablet? No we alerady have at home. Tablet at home:
that's something anyone could self integrate in any laptop (with more or less effort depending on the model); a REAL laptop is already integrated all in one, with componentes greatly customized to occupy the least physical space possible; thus u dont have a regular brick battery in a table/cell phone, no regular mechanical/SATA disks, etc
When I saw Snazzy release a Modbook video right after you did, I assumed that he lent it to you! Interesting to learn that it was just a coincidence!
I’m in the us @ComputerClan
He doesn't know sublime text >.>
I was looking for a macOS tablet video, thanks for the video
Website: *creates ModBook* Apple copyright: *you know the rules and so do i* say goodbye to your website
I OWN THE SAME KEYBOARD!
Круто!
apples own surface pro
Ken do you actually watch Aggretsuko?
With what im reading. They are still being made. Their site is also copyrighted for 2020. It seems they sell the Modbook for around 5-6K. They have both Mac OS and Windows.
Checked the site... It's online for now!👍
You act really.. let’s say... differently when you’re around a woman lol
Yeah its called an ipad
*does graphic design* *hunches over her tablet* "Don't like hunch over your tablet please" *Coughs*
I remember seeing this featured in a magazine (paper magazine) when I was around middle grade. Damn, I’m getting old.
UK only :(
Is it possible to make this ModBook to have macOS High Sierra for example. If yes then i think you can use that. If no then maybe something risky with the drivers or anything. I'm just curious how it will look. krazy ken plz reply XD
Are we just going to ignore how delightful of singing voice Heidi has.
there is an eraser on the apple pencil though?
who else want to see Heidi’s face ?
Jeez, I've been wanting one of those things for a long, *long* time! They're hilariously rare devices.

I was on the buyers interest list for some years back in the day, got the reminder emails and so on. never got to the point to squeeze out the money worth of 2 (two) Macbooks...
A thing to explore is what other drawing tablets were available back in the day as a comparison. This would also have the fully functionality of a mac on top of being an artist tablet. I can see where they were going with this. I mean something like a WACOM tablet mid range tablet was 2000 dollars and you had to adjust to fact the glass was like a fraction of a millimeter off from the touch surface and you would still need to sync it to a computer. I mean this seems like it would have been neat to be able to take it with you to do some work on the go for a 2012 device.
the ipad pro from the past
I remember intending to buy one of these when I was in university. I had no idea they were considered "rare"...
Nice
Cool
Computer clan crazy Ken Quinn collab? ... please?
Mac and Tablet don't go together that well, but it did with this product. I should call it the MacPad
The first iPad with Apple pen
it’s here
What happened to this company
Great video.
1. It’s a 2006 MacBook 2. It’s basically an iPad
Welcome to the world of TN-panels. Good god I'm glad that time is over...
This is what everyone wanted the iPad to be.
“Sublime text, not sure what that is.” *cries in web development*

How you all doing? I'm sick Well that's just great!
Does Heidi have a website or an online portfolio? I'm interested in seeing more of her art, and to ask her a question about her old Wacom tablet too.

Yeah! I should've worked this out earlier, but I'll make sure to push her URL more. www.deviantart.com/heidi-celestial
I think Quinn killed the website
Does this model have a CCFL backlight? that would explain the brightness and heat on the bezels.
The display is darker because they grafted that touch-panel onto the MacBook's display. Or, they replaced the display with a poor quality display that is not nearly as bright as the original MacBook display.
Honestly this is great that you have this for the UK viewers. Im in the US, but we get giveaways all the time. love that you're doing this though

This looks a lot like those concepts when the rumours about an Apple tablet started an nobody expected the iPad would actually be just a huge iPhone.
they still exist: iddown.info/the/iHyslJijnqildbc/video.html

You don't know what Sublime Text is. Sigh.
Quick PSA, Use Deluge. Not uTorrent. uTorrent is awful, Deluge is a spitting image thats not awful with no ads. Add: I'd leave a like anyway, but I'mma megga like for that life as a teenage robot reference
Well great Ken. Now I'm just sad Windows 7 is kil again : (. Thanks a lot man
Wow a modified Macbook is called a modbook, such a creative name!
im not in UK :( sad
Hey ken! So apparently lit mobile is back at it, but just renamed itself and is advertising a different product. (iddown.info/the/pq--dMeWl7utec0/video.html) Great video though.
This was awesome! Great to hear from someone who can actually draw (as we clearly can't lol)!

Seems to be the "thing," lately.
If I won that prize I'd buy myself a maxed out Optiplex... yes I'm serious.
I think I remember seeing one of these back in my elementary school but I was like years ago and I wasn’t able to see how it performed either but I think it actually had some sort of blue shell I can’t remember but I do remember it was running on Mac OS X

Apple would price the stand at a reasonable $5k.
Back in the day, I used to jones after the Modbook because Newton. (The Ink software was a port of Apple's print recognizer from the NewtonOS, in fact, you could write Rosetta! Rosetta! Rosetta! and it'd come out Rosetta! Rosetta! Hey, that's me! just like on the Newton)
Me iOS developer who use VMWare to develop iOS apps because I cannot afford a Mac After seeing this I think 🤔 I can buy it
I'm staring at a pile of shitty old A1181's and getting some disturbing thoughts now.
I have always scoured the internet for one of these and you and Snazzy get some so close to each other! These were so cool and definitely would be things I would add to my collection :) Also thank you for having a giveaway in the UK!

Or you could call it an IDE, interactive development environment.
By using ARM on Mac I believe that one day that iPad and Macbook will converge into these kind of computer. All it needed is just a powerful but efficient SoCs so I guess finally we may have the official Modbook soon
