Tencent Digital (Bob) It seems that Apple does not appear to be launching a touchscreen MacBook, apparently disappointing some fans.
As the saying goes, “Do it yourself.†Some hardware enthusiasts can't sit still and decide to turn the 15.4-inch Retina MacBook Pro into a tablet. This is the Modbook Pro X.
In short, Modbook Pro X is a modified version of the MacBook Pro, but the entire process is more complicated.
First of all, it is to dismantle and reinstall an original MacBook Pro into a shell equipped with a-pixel touch screen. Of course, a great deal of debugging work is needed to ensure the stable operation of the system.
Of course, it would be boring if it just sounded so. The developers of the Modbook Pro X also added a back key system and mapped the text on the screen to achieve text input while holding the hand. Although not perfect, after all, Mac OS is not an operating system that supports touch screens.
In addition, the Modbook Pro X comes with a cradle and a stylus, all of which make it look more like a tablet.
It should be pointed out that the configuration of the Modbook Pro X is very powerful, including the Intel Core i7 processor up to 2.7GHz, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics, which is basically the same as the official MacBook Pro.
Maybe you would say: This kind of desktop computer reforms the experience of using the tablet will not be very good, but from another point of view, this may be a Fantasy, at least Modbook Pro X supporters are not few, successfully raised about 32 Million dollar funds.
Unfortunately, the system debugging process of the Modbook Pro X is far more complicated than imagined, so its delivery time was postponed until December of this year, and the selling price was starting from 1999 (approximately RMB 14,000).
