Stop-Motion Modbook Upgrade Video

Posted by timothy on from the how-to-do-that dept.

Brian Northway writes "This funny, stop-motion, photo-animated video shows the process of converting an Apple MacBook to an Axiotron Modbook tablet, in one minute and fifty-nine seconds — viewable in standard quality or high-definition (720p), for exceptional detail. It's the latest installment a series of light-speed technical videos that I've created, wihich include the explorational disassembly of a PSP-3000, a unibody MacBook Pro, a MacBook Air, an iPhone, and many other Apple devices."

      If your question is not rhetorical I believe the answer (based on the time stamp of the article and your post) is 1 hour and 4 minutes (give or take a minute).
