I've stumbled upon this peculiar Apple MacBook modification called modbook by Axiotron Corp, while wondering if there is a good Wacom Penabled tablet PC on the market:
It turns out that for $900 dollars one could get his MacBook converted into a Penabled Tablet Mac. The keyboard is evidently removed, and on top of the screen a magnetic layer for Wacom digitizer technology is placed, finally covered by glass called ForceGlass, that is "designed to replicate the feel of paper". The pen is stored in a magnetic "pocket" of the modbook. This unique opportunity to have a tablet computer driven by Apple's OS X seems to be completely legal, because the OS is still run by the Apple hardware. The Axiotron Corp also sells software useful in a tablet environment - handwriting recognition QuickScript and Kopernikus, a program that allows controlling your system via handwriting. To make things even more exciting, the Axiotron are announcing modbook pro - the same Wacom Penabling modification, but for MacBook Pro!
