14 DAY TRIAL // Axiotron, the only company manufacturing and distributing Mac tablets today, has announced that academic customers and creative professionals are eligible for a significant discount on their purchase of a Modbook.
Axiotron develops what is called a Modbook. The device is made from an original Apple MacBook, whose keyboard, trackpad and case are removed. The case is replaced by a much smaller shell, while additional software is needed to use the Mac OS via the touchscreen interface. The system is primarily aimed at (drawing) artists.
“The award-winning Modbook offers students, educators and artists a unique, Mac-based tablet computer that is ideal for drawing, note-taking and presenting,” Axiotron upholds. “The following Modbook discount programs are available through participating Axiotron Authorized Dealers for a limited time only,” the company reveals on its website. The programs are available as follows:
Academic Discount Program – save $230 “Academic customers can get a new Modbook and save $230 off MSRP,” Axiotron says. “Students, faculty and staff — get your discount code now!” The offer expires on December 31, 2009.
