Modbook and Modbook pro – transform your existing MacBook to Tablet Modbook! 把你的MacBook转变为手写ModBook!

If you are Apple user, may be sometime you wish Apple could release a products like “Tablet” laptop, but they just won’t do it, i think may be they don’t want people to say they are copying Microsoft idea or something? However, if you really need a “Tablet” laptop, but don’t want to use Hackintosh, may be you can consider this mod MacBook/MacBook pro from Axiotron then, called ModBook pro /ModBook.

modbook-pro

I think may be Apple this time can’t really sue them as they are not selling a custom built machine that came with Leopard OSX operating system, instead modified existing MacBook into ModBook, what they are doing just services, not selling products, may be this is the reason why Apple can’t do anything. And there is a condition on the bottom of the page:

The Axiotron Modbook Pro is an aftermarket modification of the MacBook Pro manufactured by Apple Inc. This modification of your MacBook Pro will void your existing Apple warranty. After modification, Apple or its authorized service providers will be under no obligation to repair your computer. Your Axiotron warranty will replace the previous warranty. Only Axiotron Authorized Service Providers are authorized to service and repair your Modbook Pro.

Although it void your existing warranty, but some user they will just go for it, if they want to. But Apple, what you going to do? Just watch other people mod your product? Ha, may be you could come out multi-touch screen MacBook instead of Table laptop, then no one will say you are copy Microsoft, since org is from iPhone.

如果你是苹果用户,可能有时你真的希望苹果可以发表类似手写输入的笔电,但他们就是不会这么做,我想也许他们不要人家说他们抄袭微软的点子吧?如果你真的需要手写输入的笔电而又不是Hackintosh,也许可以考虑这个由Axiotron 改装的MacBook/MacBook pro,称为ModBook/ModBook pro.

我在想也许这次苹果不能告他们,毕竟他们不是在售卖自己组成的电脑并且内建OSX,而是把原版的MacBook/Macbook pro改装成手写输入,提供的是服务,不是售卖,这一点我想苹果也拿他们没办法。而且在底页也有相关注明:(参考以上英文版,我不会免费帮他们翻译)

虽然这么做会失去你原有的保固,但有些用户才不管。所以苹果啊,你会怎么做呢?眼看着你的产品被改装?哈,也许你应该推出类似的产品把?不要手写,多点触屏也好啊,这样没有人说你抄微软嘛,那是iPhone权利啊?
