Abstract: Manufacturer's SiteApple's Magic Trackpad brings the wonderful glass trackpad that MacBook Pro users have been enjoying to desktop Mac users. Now laptop users can be envious of desktop users, because along the way, the tracking surface was magically enlar...
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...

Can be challenging to set up initially, Requires Mac OS X 10.6.4 plus additional software updates, Limited finger gestures available when using it on a Windows PC
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...
Amazingly precise, Super thin and light, Great for HTPC or travel, Robust gesture support, Even works on Windows
Lackluster Windows support, No Digitizer support, Customizations are limited, Not a true mouse replacement for most
In summary, the $69 Magic Trackpad is more novel than magical. As with most every other Apple product we have tried, the execution is spot-on. Tracking was extremely precise, and thus, the pad was very useable. Even the softest taps and the most delicate...
