Tagline: We make the Mac tablets that Apple won't
Elevator pitch: Architects, designers, and animators are just a few of the over 369k creative Mac professionals buying tablets in 2017 for a lot more than email and internet access. These users need the power, performance, and portability of a laptop but also require advanced pen capabilities to draft, design, and create wherever they are. No single system has existed with this unique combination — until now! The upcoming Modbook is for Mac users demanding the best creative computing tool in the world.

FAQ:
- Q: Your offering does not show on the main "Explore" page, or under its category "Tech". It has to be searched for very specifically by name. This means that very few people will find it, because I imagine most browse new offerings through those two methods. Is it on purpose?
  A: Hi Alan, in short, yes it is on purpose. I can't speak for the other campaigns where you encountered this, but I can tell you why it is happening here and it's probably a good guess that it is the same with the other companies. There are several steps involved in the creation of a crowdfunding campaign on wefunder.com, not all of which have to follow directly one after the other. Once a company has completed and filed its regulatory documentation with the SEC they are allowed to (a) publicly ...
- Q: Can you convert any Macbook into a tablet?
  A: Hi Vanessa, No, we can not. The Modbook Pro X was specifically developed to meet the needs of creative professionals and Mac power users that need the most powerful and versatile macOS tablet possible. Neither the MacBook Air nor the MacBook come anywhere close to those requirements, which is why we are currently not planning to support them. To date my team and I have created tablet solutions based on four different members of the MacBook/Pro family of Apple laptops. Each of those was a gene...
- Q: If this market has this much potential, why is no one else doing it?
  A: Hi Nikky, Potential competition would have to come out of one of two camps: Apple or any of the other PC manufacturers. Apple is currently one of the most valuable company in the world, which is based on its extremely successful business model. It’s built on an effective and deeply ingrained platform strategy of distinctively splitting their mobile offerings into macOS-based, mouse/keyboard-enabled notebooks on one side vs. iOS-based, touch/pen-enabled iPhone/iPad tablets on the other. It is ...
- Q: Your current Modbook Pro can be booted into Windows, but the one before that, the Modbook 150 could not. Will this Modbook Pro X run Windows 10?
  A: Hi Joshua, The simple answer is yes. We are using only genuine Apple 15.4-inch Retina MacBook Pro as base systems. Every current Mac has the built-in ability to natively boot into Windows 10 through the Bootcamp app, so our general rule for Modbook Pro X compatibility applies here as well: if it works/runs on an Apple 15.4-inch Retina MacBook Pro before we transform it, it will run on it after we transformed it into a Modbook Pro X. Ciao, Andreas
- Q: Also, does the Modbook Pro X respond to (finger) touch as well? None of the last ones did.
  A: Hi Joshua, The upcoming Modbook Pro X, just like its predecessors, is focused on providing top-of-the-line pen-input capability for its professional users and does not respond to touch. For one, this allows users to use the pen most naturally, so placing the hand on the screen while drawing will not cause any interference and also not take up any system resources to manage some software-based palm rejection application (which never works 100%, not even on the iPad Pro). The other reason is th...
