Totally too expensive, but it does have nice specs. Modbook Inc. has started taking pre-orders for the ModBook Pro. Priced at $3,499, the ModBook Pro features an Intel CoreTM i7 processor up to 2.9GHz...

Ahhhh Mac, staying true to the charging-consumers-way-too-much-for-way-too-little business model. I guess it works, considering they are the most valuable company in the entire world.

A $3500 over-power tablet is retarded.

Ahh I got confused because it is literally a 13" MacBook, but this company just took it and chopped the keyboard and CD drive off, gave it a touch screen, and doubled the price.

I think it's interesting that Apple allowed this company to make these.

Jobs is gone now....unless they've associated with Apple in some way (maybe a hidden subsidiary?), they're fair game for Apple's legal team...

The only thing I can find on Modbook, Inc. is it is a privately owned company that does development work for Apple. I would assume they have Apple's blessing with this otherwise we will be hearing about another lawsuit shortly.

Yeah I know that, I was referring to their Macworld appearance(s). They were there in 2007 .. Right under Steve's nose.

they most likely have a 'blessing', if not a subsidiary/sister company, of apple. Apple sues even non-tech/IT related stores brand/stores that has the littlest of hints of apple, so it would be a surprise if Apple won't sue them if they are not in any way related to them.
