The iPad Clamshell Notebook

Experiments with non-standard use of iPad tablet computer go on. Do you remember the quite doubtful modding - the 25-year old Macintosh with tablet computer casing? This time the idea is similar, however the “envelope” is a bit fresher – this is the iBook G3 “Clamshell” notebook that had quite an unusual rounded case for its 2001 year of manufacture and thus entered the history of portable computers.
The iBook G3 was based on the PowerPC processor with frequency of 300-466 MHz, that in modern times turns computer into a stylish typewriter. Perhaps that is why an unknown moder decided to renovate the device’s configuration.
As the result the iPad Clamshell notebook appeared. The device has a touch screen (formerly known as iPad tablet computer) and new keyboard that is connected with the tablet by Bluetooth protocol. In general, modding can be considered quite successful, however, it has one and quite a sad minus – the notebook cannot be closed – there is a high risk to damage the screen.
