Thanks, but no thanks

I imagine only the wealthy, or obsessed would go for this type of price. This isn't much different than the new MS Slate Pro coming out that is looking to be 1/3rd the price. I'm sure it has advantages, but not that much. I'm sure a good deal of the costs come from manual mods.

dual core i5 and I7 interesting.....

Should be called Madbook for its mad price.

I'd rather wait for the Surface Pro and end up with a better product at likely 30% the cost of this silly device. Heck, for this kind of money I could grab a Surface Pro, an Ultrabook, a Desktop and have enough left over to re-carpet a room or two in my house. I'll never understand why people are willing to blow this kind of money on Apple products when better, cheaper alternatives exist.

Priced like a Mac thats for sure, this makes microsoft's surface look like a giveaway...

 

[bllue]

Might as well just buy a Surface Pro. Better hardware, better software, better efficiency, extremely better price.

 

[robochump]

Nice!!! But not $3500 nice.....though this reminds me I need to get rich!

 

[dauntekong]

Good luck, now Apple is going to take your work and claim they made it. Then sues you for it.

You don't understand why people are willing to blow that kind of money on an Apple product?

Well I don't understand why people can't comprehend simple articles.


Modbook pro is NOT an Apple product.

They aren't even affiliated with Apple.

Do I think this is a dumb over priced idea? Of course I do, you can buy a MacBook Pro, iPad and PC for less that this one product.

It may have apple internals, but don't blame apple for some company that buys their product, modifies it and tries to sell it to consumers. They have nothing to do with it.

Surface pro doesn't have active digitizer components for pen input and pressure sensitivity. Those are expensive, especially for large screens.

Wow, they deleted my message. Nobody wants tthe public to know that's aren't related to Apple?

Drop the price for 75% and I MIGHT think about it...

 

[back_by_demand]

So, a tablet with Apple desktop OS on it, for minimum $3500
...
Anyone who buys this should have directed the money to getting a catscan instead, you clearly have a brain tumour
...
The hardware may be nice, but seriously, you need to pay about a third of this price or less

 

[bustapr]

i smell a lawsuit

 

[okibrian]

How do they say it? Oh yeah, see you in court. Maybe the high price tag is to help pay for that.

 

[SmaugTD]

"Core i7 dual-core processor" wat?

 

[Chairman Ray]

If I'm gonna spend that much money on a computer, it's gonna be on a modest supercomputer

 

[semperfidelis316]

ZOMG! Please take my money cause I'm a stupid iSheep!!! F^@#!NG IDIOTS!!!

No, they didn't delete your post, people down rated it and now it's hidden. Apple Sucks. Period. Whether it's a true Apple turd or some stupid Hackintosh.

 

[mukitbinazad]

i could just buy a samsung series 7 slate which costs a lot less and has similar specs

 

[velosteraptor]

I seem to remember a company that made hackintoshs, and then got sued by apple because of it. Wouldn't this be the same deal? if they aren't affiliated with apple, how can they be selling tablets made of deconstructed macbooks?
