Personally, I think the ideal is cool, but having absolutely no keyboard is hard to handle. I would have preferred a screen that can turn and flip over so to have the option of a tablet. It would be a little thicker, but I think that's a fair tradeoff. Also, the contrast from the magnesium cover and the stock whiteness of the rest of the macbook is a big turnoff too . . . it looks like something that was put together in shop class, just unprofessional. I'd send it to colorware to have it painted for sure. Anyways, would love to hear thoughts.

Has anyone purchase a ModBook yet? I saw them at MacWorld, and am interested in purchasing one, but I really don't want to buy on online and wait 3 months for it to arrive. Does anyone know if they actually produced more than the 5 demo models?

Choose your ModBook at OtherWorldComputing.com

...entirely unrelated, but does anyone know why it's changing the text of my link instead of just showing the URL?

VBulletin has done that for a while. About the ModBook. I've seen one at a store here in town. It looked cool. Since they had one I assume they are shipping, although the owners of the store sell stuff from OWC.
