First of all, I love what Apple is doing with Multi-Touch. They have slowly taken the touch technology that they introduced with the iPhone 4 and incorporated it into the MacBook line and now their desktop computers. The introduction of the Magic Trackpad brings full touch capability, something that has been available on the MacBooks for some time now, to the desktops (i.e. iMac, Mac Pro, Mac mini).
I love my Magic Mouse, so it is inevitable that I will love my Magic Trackpad. I tried to pick one up today from my local Apple Store, but alas, they had none in stock.
In any case, here are a few features of the Magic Trackpad that I am excited about:
- It has the same sculpted aluminum design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and side by side the two sit flush at the same angle and height.
- It features nearly 80 percent more area than the MacBook trackpads.
- The entire surface is clickable.
I don’t like the fact that it uses old school batteries. I wish that it had an internal rechargeable battery that could be charged via USB. I guess I’ll have to pick up the Apple Battery Charger as well.
