Zilele trecute v-am vorbit despre MoodBook Pro, tableta cu ecran de 13.3 inch care ruleaza OS X, are hardware-ul unui MacBook Pro, insa este mai scumpa decat un asemenea produs al companiei Apple. Atunci nu stiam prea multe informatii despre configuratia ei sau despre pret, insa producatorii au pornit in cursul serii trecute o sesiune de precomenzi si versiunea de baza care are un procesor Intel i5 de 2.5 GHz(cu turbo boost pana al 3.1 GHz), 4 GB RAM DDR 3 1600 MHz, SSD 64 GB costa 3500$. Pretul este mult mai mare decat cel al unui MacBook Pro, insa ecranult actil ar trebui sa fie principalul motiv in baza caruia cineva ar cheltui atatia bani.
Tableta poate fi configurata direct in magazinul celor de la Mood, pretul creste destul de mult in functie de optiunile alese de catre cumparator, insa cand iei in calcul achizitionarea unui asemenea produs nu te prea uiti la bani. Mai multe puteti afla in magazinul celor de la Mood. In cazul in care va intrebati daca Apple va permite vanzarea acestui produs, eu cred ca ei fie au aprobat deja vanzarea ei, fie nu se vor amesteca in treburile celor de la Mood deoarece nu doresc sa lanseze un produs de acest gen vreodata, iar pentru iPad MoodBook Pro nu este competitor.
