  • Not as precise as a mouse or trackball
  • Not ideal for large screens or multiple displays

  • The Apple Magic Trackpad ships with two AA alkaline batteries, although Apple now sells its own Apple Battery Charger. It will be a useful addition to the arsenal of any Mac user who wishes to have multitouch functionality on their desktop machine. It...

  • Does an invisible job of turning the keyboard and trackpad into a single unit; lets you use the trackpad on the left or the right; lets you not use the Magic Connector at all if the need arises
  • I would like it to ship with spare magnets so that I could get and use a new trackpad or keyboard if need be

  • Bigger is actually much better with trackpads. Provides very usable touch controls for Mac OS. Typical sleek, beautiful Apple design.
  • Dragging and dropping never works as well as it does with a mouse. Can't truly customize gestures. A tad overpriced.
  • Apple’s new pointer is hardly the first external touch-based trackpad, and while it won’t convert legions of mouse users, it’s cleverly integrated with Mac OS and delivers a largely excellent, usable experience.Magic Trackpad...

  • The Magic Trackpad isn’t cheap, and so one wouldn’t want to buy it on a whim, expecting to immediately make Mac life wondrous. Despite the Fast Tracking mode, I still don’t get the immediate and fine tracking and pointer control that I can get with a ...

  • The suitability for daily use is only given to a part and can't convince us in every sector. Simple office tasks are easily managed with the Magic Trackpad. Sophisticated applications (image editing) or games are difficult with the Trackpad and an ordinar...

  • Abstract:  Apple’s Magic Trackpad is an interesting, although not unexpected, move for the company. For a company that seems to have invested in multitouch as the core foundation of its future, it only makes sense that they’d want to bring it over to the deskto...

  • Rechargeable batteries not included, Not as precise as a mouse
