MWSF Tidbits: Modbook Pro, Matte Screens, Tune Blocker, Gorilla Pod

[Digital Skunk]

FOr the price of the modbook you could get a PC tablet and the 17 inch Macbook Pro.

3 grand of markup? really?

Depending on the software used, this would be the ideal situation.

If I used a tablet for illustration and Adobe graphics apps I would just opt for the PC and 17" MBP. If I wasn't tied to the hip with Apple I could get a PC table, 17" powerhouse laptop, and quad core desktop with 24" monitor.

And if I took any one of the heavy lifting machine out I could get one of the many Adobe CS4 packages along with it.

Simply put, you could get an entire system for that $5000 price tag of one machine.

You are completely missing the point of the modbooks.

Cool. My brother has a gorilla pod. Sometimes the cool stuff from the little companies gets overlooked because of the keynote, maybe not so much this year though

The link to the modbook pro is dead btw!

much cheaper than the $199.

did anybody see this applied to a screen? i'm curious...

Great price! It'd be interesting to hear from anyone who actually uses them.

that modbook does look nice, but the price is outrageous! i won't be buying that

i totally just ordered a Joby gorillapod for my point-and-shoot... never heard of them before... actually found them (the grey one only) on sale for $20 at Vistek online in toronto... yay

$199 to upgrade to a matte screen? Get the F out of here! The glare isn't that bad.

Gorilla Pod is ingenious. I am using it in two sizes since almost one year. Couldn't live without it. Searching for a possibility to mount the iPhone on the smallest one.
