Oh, and if you want to make sure you get your own copy of the device, you’ll have to pledge $4,000, which means that you probably won’t see all that many people carrying it around. The new Kickstarter just launched on Wednesday, so it obviously doesn’t have all that many backers yet. You can use it as either a laptop or a tablet and it will also come with a stylus that “offers 2,048 pressure levels, pen tilt and rotate functionality, programmable dual side-switches, a digital eraser and replacement nib set.” Additionally, the Modbook Pro X will be “configurable with up to a 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics with an optional NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M GPU, and up to 32GB of 1600MHz random-access memory.”

The proposed device will feature a 15.4-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, or 220 pixels per inch. A new Kickstarter projected called Modbook Pro X is trying to raise $150,000 to build a massive MacBook-tablet hybrid that even utilizes one of Steve Jobs’ most hated accessories - the stylus.
