Hello,
Has anyone turned their Mac computer into a Modbook? I’m into digital photography and the Modbook’s new features seem cool. I want to turn my Mac into a ModBook, but before that I’d like to get some reviews from people who already own one. Any suggestions?

$1249 to convert a Macbook to a Modbook. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a tablet?

it would, but that wouldn't be a mod, would it? :D :D

anyway, op, you should realize it will increase in size dramatically, look how much it extends the frame ... nto to mention, the new MB is awesome looking and this just ruins it ... but if it's what you like and want, then go for it

Actually, if you look at the assembly video, it doesn't increase that dramatically in size. Maybe a very slight increase in thickness, and I say slight since the keyboard is removed, so that partially offsets any increase in thickness the new touchscreen brings.

OK it just looks cool. I could not justify buying this with any reason but I'd like one.
