Mod: Apple Mac Mini Portable - Tablet Edition

macmini-portable-2.pngWho said Apple had no Tablet portables? Well, by defualt, they don’t. But if you’re on the adventurous side, you can modify a Mac Mini into a tablet Mac, like what Peter Green did with his. He calls it the Mac Mini Portable.

The MMP MkIII is the LIGHTEST Macintosh portable ever made at just 1.9Kg including batteries.

It has a 3 hour battery life, integrated 8″ touch screen tablet, full Blue Tooth, Airport, full SPDIF audio in/out and Front Row capabilities, on screen touch keyboard - no hardware keyboard required!

The MMP MkIII is the same height (or a little slimmer) than the original Mac Mini by Apple, it’s been made a little wider for extra electronics and being ergonomically better to hold.

This mod actually no longer makes use of the Mac Mini’s casing, but only its innards. After all, with a desktop with that small a footprint, you wouldn’t have to wonder whether it’s portable peripherals that Apple has stuck in there, from the logic board, to the hard drive, to the optical drive and more.
