12:09PM Nick Broughall | While it’s not the Modbook Pro creators Axiotron unveiled at MacWorld overnight, online Apple reseller is now selling the original Modbook in Australia. Pricing starts at $3,849, so it’s certainly not going to be an impulse buy, but if you’ve wanted to see the mythical Apple tablet that hits the rumour mills every couple of years but never eventuates, this is as close as you’re ever likely to get. Plus, according to Chen, it’s actually a really solid product.

Axiotron ModBook Review (Verdict: A Touchscreen MacBook Done Right)
6:00AM Jason Chen | It’s was exactly a year from the time Axiotron first debuted their touchscreen MacBook at Macworld 2007 to the time we got the first hands-on of it at Macworld 2008, and that year of development time seems to have done the company some good. Not only is this ModBook the touchscreen Mac Apple fans have been looking for, it’s got all the components of a MacBook, which means it’s not a low-powered, stripped down, gimped version (MacBook Air) that sacrifices performance for the tablet pen sensitivity. And for that, we’re thankful.
