    • MacWorld:
      • "The ModBook is not designed for the masses, but that’s precisely why Apple hasn’t made a tablet Mac... And those who buy one with its strengths and limitations in mind will have the unique experience of running OS X on a Mac like nothing ever made by Apple."
    • SlashGear:
      • "I also like that you can lie your hand on the screen when you are doing something with the pen and it doesn’t affect what the pen is doing, and it doesn’t squish the screen (you know how LCDs get all wiggly at the slightest sign of pressure, that doesn’t happen, it takes some considerable pressure for that to happen)."
    • Wired:
      • "Built-in GPS. Badass handwriting recognition software accurately renders chicken scratch into coherent words. Durable screen and shell makes porting this pricey device a relatively worry-free ordeal."
