Apple Magic Trackpad

Apple Magic Trackpad




There is no secret that Apple has one of the best designs if not the best in the Market, The Apple Magic Trackpad is no exception, the unibody aluminum looks with glass coated on top is a brilliant multi touch, multi gesture Trackpad.
After getting the mStand from Rain Design, I had to get something to make it easier for me to type and to use a mouse. I already had the wireless keyboard, I got a magic mouse too, but I decided to get a Magic trackpad because I don't think that a mouse, even the magic mouse can replace my Trackpad on my MacBook, I mean the multi touch (I know the Magic mouse is a multi touch device too) feature on the Magic Trackpad is amazing, you have all the surface area, all the space and not limited to moving a mouse around, just use your hand and you are simply done.
The Magic trackpad is about 1.5 times the Trackpad on the MacBook, which is better for gestures.

I know that the battery life is not the best but who cares as long as you have a battery charger, besides I change batteries once every couple of months which is not that bad. (the reason I said that it's not that great because some people complain about draining in 4-5days).

Maybe the trackpad is not for everyone, I mean you got to try it at the Apple store, if you don't like it then get a mouse. I only use a mouse when I edit videos. I find the Magic Trackpad much more useful.

bottom line: Get one if you like it, or get a mouse and a trackpad if you can afford both.
