Successful Modbook Pro X Kickstarter Campaign Extended Two Weeks
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 16, 2014 -- Creative technologies developer Modbook® Inc. today announced that following the recently successful Kickstarter campaign for the all-new Modbook Pro X, its portable and powerful 15.4-inch Mac®-based pen tablet computer, a two-week extended last call campaign begins today at the Modbook Online Store at http://store.modbook.com/mbi-spc-ksmbpx.html.
The last call campaign for the Modbook Pro X runs for only two weeks and ends on Tuesday, September 30th, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time.
Anyone who missed the just-concluded Kickstarter campaign will be able to make a pledge to get the Modbook Pro X through the last call campaign. The terms of the two-week campaign are identical to the original Kickstarter campaign, and participants will select from the same reward choices that were available to Kickstarter backers.
Once the last call campaign ends on September 30th, all fundraising for the Modbook Pro X one-time production run will be concluded, and there will be no other way to order the Modbook Pro X.
"The response to the Modbook Pro X has been incredibly enthusiastic, and our Kickstarter campaign has received backing from all over the world," said Andreas E. Haas, Modbook Inc.'s chief executive officer and lead engineer. "We are looking forward to completing work on the Modbook Pro X and getting it into the hands of our backers who made it possible."
