people actually bought these?]]>Mar 2nd 2008 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/
It's like going to Dell for a PC over someone like Gateway... except the Dell they bought was a Gateway with modifications... Ok, that didn't work...

But it's basically just a variation of a Macbook and people can buy it if they want that sort of thing... I see no reason to doubt that people would buy one...]]>Mar 2nd 2008 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/

No. Far from it, unless you jailbreak it, of course.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/

Since they're not Apple, they'd get smashed with a cease & desist in record time if they used the name "Macbook" for their tablet.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/
If they aren't Apple3 fanbois why is the MacBook Pro the only laptop to get massive and detailed benchmarks and heat tests posted to Engadget's front page. why is it that Engadget posts when Apple's store is down...do you see this shit on news.com or any other tech blog other then apple specific sites? Engadget itself may not be a Apple fanboi site but there is no doubt in my mind that there are more then a few content contributers who ARE fanbois which reflects on Engadget as being well you know...No Engadget needs to make a new subsite....call it iEngadget or Engadget Fruit or something snappy where the fanbois can go to play, and then someone on the main site posts when MAJOR news breaks like new MBP's released, new iPods released. That shit is newsworthy, not.....www.engadget.com/2007/08/15/yep-the-apple-store-is-down/

You NEVER see this kind of detailed "reporting" for any other company other then Apple on Engadget, and its damn annoying. No make them their own freaking site and let them play over there and be done with it Engadget. Please?

Engadget

A) are not Apple fanboys by any means

B) do not need nor want(I'm assuming) an Apple Engadget. You can go to http://www.tuaw.com/ for that.

now with that being said, like someone already stated. It's hard NOT for the Modbooks to be modified when the laptops are modified.

I wonder why they haven't renamed it MacBook Write or something like that since the MacBook Air made it possible for the models to have something attached to the "MacBook" name besides Pro.

Sadly I doubt the new versions work better than the old versions (despite promises to the contrary portrait mode doesn't work, and neither does bluetooth). They might run cooler though, which would be good.

Disappointed ModBook Owner

*shrugs* Right now I'm just gathering the info. I have a spare 100GB hard drive from a recent MBP upgrade that I can swap into the tablet and play around with. I just need to figure out what to use as a keyboard..other then the tablet build in keyboard that is.]]>Mar 2nd 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/Mar 2nd 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/modbook-upgraded-now-up-to-2-4ghz-160gb/
