limitation of the Mod Book is that, unlike some tablets that have two
modes - on tablet and another that you can twist the screen and use a
builtin keyboard in a more traditional computer configuation, the modbook
only has a virtual keyboard. You can attach a usb keyboard to it (you can
get a flexible roll up one from other vendors) but that is a little
awkward. You wouldn't need a mouse because it is a table. It has a really
nice screen and seems durable. If you get one please tell us how it goes.
