Apple's Magic Trackpad really isn't magical, but for those who want or need the full range of OS X gestures on their desktop computer it does a fine job. We don't think it will completely replace the mouse...
Abstract: Not content with revolutionising the digital-music industry, reinventing the mobile phone and turning a niche tablet computing market into a sales phenomenon, Apple has turned its attention to bumping off the humble mouse. In many ways, the Magic Track...
Easy to use, though nobody had used one previously, Superb finish, Works perfectly on your Mac and well on PC, Nice replacement for the mouse in many cases, You can set it to your liking (on Mac)
A new outlay for a product with questionable lifespan, Need to cheat a bit to install it on PC, Very slight latency between movement on pad and the screen, The upper part of the pad is hard to click, Doesn't work well on dualscreen. Best to use it on a single screen.
The Pad is useful, pretty and practical, but for how long? It replaces the mouse nicely for many usages, but as soon as touch screens come on stream, you'll be putting it away in a drawer never to be seen again. Your mouse will still be useful....

Abstract: Undoubtedly better than a laptop touchpad, but does anyone need it? And, at this price? We've all had moments where we've wished our laptop touchpad was a bit more spacious, but this is taking it to extremes. After the Magic Mouse, which awkwardly adde...

Large, Multi-Touch surface; works identically to Apple’s laptop trackpads; rugged, portable design matches Apple’s keyboards; easy setup
Not as precise as a mouse or trackball; not ideal for large screens or multiple displays
If you're a big fan of the Multi-Touch trackpads on Apple's current laptop models, the Magic Trackpad is for you. It gives you the same clickable, glass surface and Multi-Touch gestures, as those laptop trackpads in a wireless desktop model – with the bon...
