Nov. 5, 2009 (Filing Services Canada) --
Axiotron Corp. (AXO - TSX Venture),
High-tech manufacturer Axiotron(r) today reduced the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the Modbook(r) to $899 (for Modbooks built with a customer-supplied Apple(r) MacBook(r) base system) and $1,799 (for complete Modbooks that include a dealer-supplied 2.13GHz Apple MacBook base system). A $200 holiday discount is available on all Modbook purchases through December 31, 2009. When the holiday discount is applied, the MSRP for Modbooks built with a customer-supplied base system is only $699 and the MSRP for complete Modbooks that include a dealer-supplied 2.13GHz base system is only $1,599.
Praised by reviewers for its portability and ease-of-use, the Modbook seamlessly integrates Axiotron's tablet hardware and software technology, a state-of-the-art Wacom(r) Penabled(r) digitizer and an Apple MacBook base system. The result is an award-winning, Mac(r)-based tablet computer that's ideal for creative professionals, students and general users.
Axiotron's Modbook is built with customer-supplied MacBooks or with clearance-priced MacBooks supplied by Axiotron's dealers. Most MacBooks released since 2006 are eligible for conversion into Modbooks. The aluminum unibody MacBook models (released in late 2008) and the polycarbonate unibody MacBook models (recently released) are not eligible for conversion. A list of compatible MacBook models is available at http://www.axiotron.com/modbook.
The Modbook supports both the Mac OS(r) X Leopard(r) operating system and the latest version of Mac OS X, Snow Leopard(r).
With its fast CPU speeds (1.83Ghz to 2.4GHz, depending on the base system), superior graphics (including an NVIDIA(r) GeForce(r) 9400M integrated graphics processor on many models), large 13.3-inch AnyView(tm) LCD display, durable ForceGlass(tm) screen, and 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity (more than any tablet PC), the Modbook is still by far the most powerful -- and, at the new price points, the most affordable -- slate-style tablet computer system available today.

Every Modbook comes with a ninety-day Modcare(tm) warranty on the entire system (including the MacBook base system, whose warranty is voided during the Modbook conversion). Extended warranty options for one or more years are available through participating Axiotron sales partners. Servicing and repair of the Modbook are provided by Axiotron's service provider network.
Complete Modbook systems are available at prices below the holiday MSRP of $1,599. Customers should check with individual dealers for details on the many value-priced offers available.
"We're excited to offer the Modbook to customers at a much lower price.
