Every Modbook® Pro features a 100% original Apple® motherboard with a high performance Intel® dual-core CPU, making it the most powerful pen tablet computer available today. This allows full desktop versions of processor-intensive applications such as Avid® Media Composer™ or Adobe® Photoshop® to run without compromise and on-the-go. show more »

Note: The processor is a soldered onto the motherboard and can therefore not be upgraded at a later time. Please consider your potential future needs carefully when choosing your base system.
Merging the Base System with the Modbook Pro Build Kit into a tablet-style computer voids the Base System's original Apple warranty. In its place Modbook Inc. provides a one-year Modbook Pro Protection Plan that covers the complete Modbook Pro system by combining a limited hardware warranty on the Build Kit with a warranty-equivalent service plan for the Base System. « show less

More memory will generally improve your overall system performance and allow you to work with more applications at the same time. Only Modbook Pro memory upgrade options are guaranteed to work flawlessly with your Modbook Pro. show more »

All Modbook Pro components are specifically selected, designed, tested and calibrated for use in the Modbook Pro. This is important, because critical components, such as the internal pen digitizer, are vulnerable to rogue RF and EM emissions. Non-Modbook Pro components are likely to reduce or even disrupt system performance, potentially rendering the Modbook Pro unusable.

The internal memory can be upgraded at any time by every Modbook authorized service center or directly through Modbook Inc for a low $60 service fee, which includes 3-way UPS ground shipping (not including memory upgrade, US customers only).

Note: Enduser upgrades will void the Modbook Pro Protection Plan. « show less

Each Modbook Pro includes a Modbook Shuttle external mini-drive with either USB 3.0 or optional dual FireWire 800 and USB 3.0 connectivity. The Modbook Shuttle is bus-powered (USB or FireWire) and requires no external power supply. Matching the Modbook Pro with a brushed military-grade surface finish, the Shuttle's beautiful, aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure provides superior heat management and maximum protection. show more »

The Modbook Shuttle's USB 3.0 interface is based on the high-performance ASMedia 1053e chipset and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, allowing you to shuttle data from pretty much every modern computer system.

The FireWire 800 port is powered by the industry leading Oxford 944 chipset, which is certified by most professional Audio/Video/Camera hardware and software manufacturers for high-end media production.

In addition to the bus-powered USB and FireWire ports, each Modbook Shuttle features a blue led activity indicator light on the front panel and a DC input on the rear panel, allowing for the use of an optional power adapter (not included).

Note: The need to use a DC power adapter could arise, if the Shuttle were to be connected not directly to the host computer, but further down in a chain of devices, which in turn might already be using all the power supplied by the host computer's port. « show less

The standard configuration for the external Modbook Shuttle includes a Serial ATA hard disk drive upgradeable to 1TB and 1.5 TB. Also available as upgrade options are the 500GB and 1TB Modbook Pro Nishara™-class solid-state drives whose asynchronous NAND technology strikes a sensible balance between storage capacity, performance and data safety in an external mini-drive. show more »

While offering outstanding price/capacity performance, hard disk drives contain data spindles that rotate at 5400RPM (500GB and 1.5TB version) or even 7200RPM, making them vulnerable to failure when used in motion. However, Modbook Pro Nishara™-class solid-state drives contain no moving parts and are built of the highest quality components providing nearly zero vulnerability to in-motion use. « show less

Built upon an original Apple MacBook Pro base system, every Modbook Pro comes either installed with the Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite operating system, or optionally with a previous version of the operating system: Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

All Modbook Pro support Microsoft Windows as a dual-boot install. Using Boot Camp®, a multi-boot utility included with the Base System's OS X, Microsoft Windows can be installed on a second partition on your Modbook Pro's internal solid state drive and selected as Startup Drive. show more »

The internal graphic hardware of your Modbook Pro allows you to directly connect to up to two external displays and extend your desktop across all screens, including the built-in display, simultaneously. show more »

Most Single Head solutions (Single Head means only one display connected) require only the addition of the appropriate adapter cable to connect to the built-in Thunderbolt port, and there are adapters for most every display type available.

However, Dual Head solutions (Dual Head means two displays connected) that extend the desktop across all connected displays, work only in certain configurations, with the addition of certain hardware, and with certain limitations.

The following dynamic selection panels will allow you to configure a display solution that is complete and sure to work right out of the box. « show less

Connecting your Modbook Pro to a single external display allows you to either mirror your Modbook Pro system's internal screen at 1280 by 800 pixels, or extend your desktop and add up to 2560 by 1600 pixel on the external display. show more »

In addition to standard displays, you can also choose displays you can draw on, just like on your Modbook Pro. Using the very industry leading Wacom® pen digitizer technology from which your Modbook Pro derives its own pen support, these pen-enabled displays offer you the largest and highest resolution drawing space you can install onto your desktop.

Note: You can not use the pen of a pen-enabled external Wacom display to draw on the Modbook Pro or vice versa. Even though they are both based on the same underlying technology, their implementations are optimized for their respective use in the two distinctly different hardware environments: external displays versus tablet computer systems. « show less

This original Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter supports display resolutions of up to 1920×1200 pixels. It connects to the built-in DVI-D cable of your selected Wacom Cintiq 22HD to the Thunderbolt port of your Modbook Pro.

This active high-speed Monster® cable directly connects your high resolution display to the Thunderbolt® port of your Modbook Pro over a distance of up to 8 feet. show more » It supports the maximum resolution of your selected display, and maximizes the signal strength through its 24k gold contacts, low-loss nitrogen gas-injected dielectric, and heavy-duty yet ultra-flexible triple-layer shielding.

Note: If you have other Thunderbolt devices connected to your Modbook Pro, you need to connect the display last in the chain, and you need to make sure that the other devices ahead in the chain implement the DisplayPort™ PassThrough feature of Thunderbolt. For example, the Apple Thunderbolt Display does not support this feature, and so would not allow your selected display to be connected to it. « show less

Your Modbook Pro supports through its Thunderbolt port theoretically Dual Head solutions with up to 5020 by 1600 pixels (two external displays, 2560 by 1600 pixel each) in addition to its built-in display with 1280 by 800 pixels. show more »

The maximum resolution you can currently realize is 5020 by 1440 pixel using two Apple Thunderbolt displays (2560 by 1440 pixel each). However, the Apple Thunderbolt display is the least flexible, as Apple currently only supports the use of its displays in Apple-only Dual Head configurations, and it is not supported under Windows 7 (= only one display at any one time will work).

Much more flexible but currently limited to up to 3840 by 1200 pixel (two external displays, 1920 by 1200 pixel each) are solutions using an additional Multi Display Adapter which allow you to connect non-Thunderbolt monitors to your Modbook Pro system's Thunderbolt port. These are the only Dual Head configurations that will work seamlessly both under OS X and Windows 7.
These configurations also support displays, such as the 30-inch HP® ZR30w, with higher native resolutions, but such monitors will only work in full screen zoom mode, in other words the maximum pixels available through the Multi Display Adapter will be zoomed across the monitor's full screen. Because this limitation is due to the currently available Multi Display Adapter hardware, future adapters may be able to fully unlock those display's higher resolutions.

These dynamic selection panels allow you to configure a display solution in any allowable combination, including one or two pen-enabled Wacom Cintiq® displays, that is complete and sure to work right out of the box.
Please chose any of the listed displays below as your first display. The order in which you choose is not important, as you will be able to configure your primary and secondary display in your operating system's preferences on the fly. « show less

Apple currently does not allow the use of its Thunderbolt Displays in combination with any other monitors in a Dual Head configuration. show more » However, your selection of dual Apple Thunderbolt Displays achieves the maximum resolution of 5020 by 1440 pixel directly supported by your Modbook Pro today.

Apple Thunderbolt Displays are connected through simple daisy chaining. Just plug the built-in Thunderbolt cable of the first display into your Modbook Pro and then the cable of the second display into the built-in Thunderbolt port of the first display. The unused Thunderbolt port of the second display can be used to add additional Thunderbolt devices to the chain, such as the Modbook Pro Spinner portable hard drive.

Note: This Dual Head configuration is currently not directly supported under Windows 7. If you boot into Windows 7, only the first Apple Thunderbolt Display will become operational. « show less

You can combine non-Thunderbolt displays with the above pre-selected Multi Display adapter to achieve resolutions of up to 3840 by 1200 pixel (two external displays, 1920 by 1200 pixel each). show more »

These combinations also support displays with higher native resolutions such as the 30-inch HP ZR30w. However, those monitors will only work in full screen zoom mode, in other words the maximum pixels available through the Multi Display Adapter will be zoomed across the monitor's full screen. Because this limitation is due to the currently available Multi Display Adapter hardware, future adapters may be able to fully unlock higher display resolutions.

Using the included cables, the two displays are connected to the Multi Display adapter, which in turn is connected to the Thunderbolt port of your Modbook Pro. The adapter is powered directly from the USB port of your Modbook Pro (cable included). If you need to connect additional USB devices, you can install an additional third party USB hub (not included).
