Axiontron Upgrades Modbook

Posted by Mike

It’s another modification for Axiontron’s Modbook.

Yes. You read it right. It’s another modification for the device that seemingly in always need of improvement. The Modbook did not get additional feature, instead, the maker gave it some simple system tweaks.

The Mac tablet has now a longer battery performance. This was achieved by improving its sleep function. Thru, the device now consumes far lesser battery power when it is in sleep mode.

Another new feature is in its display part. Modbook has an AnyView LCD panel and and paper-emulating ForceGlass screen cover results in a “better contrast ratio. This results into a clearer display and quoting the maker: better contrast ratio, a firmer etched drawing surface, and decreased parallax between pen tip and cursor.

Another change is the incorporation of Axiontron’s QuadCoat process. This improvement helps protecting the gadget itself by putting in metallic coating to the device. It also reduced the weight of the tablet to 5.3 pounds, so carrying the device won’t feel like having a workout any longer.

The modbook comes in two variations. The first one is tagged at $2,249. If you find that too pricy, you can settle for the basic and lesser-edgy modbook at $1,299.
