Pricey, but for faster working it's a near-essential accessory for iMac users

Apple Magic Trackpad

 

If you've used a MacBook Pro or MacBook over the last couple of years then what we'll be looking at in this review of the Apple Magic Trackpad is old news. We say that because the technology is the same, the experience is the same, and the usability is...

Gives you gesture control over and above your mouse, Bluetooth so no wires, minimalist in its design, easy to use and install

Will need a hard surface for it to work, people will still find the mouse easier to use

So desktop users should you ditch your mouse? The mouse might be ugly but it will allow you to whizz around the desktop quickly and it is what you are used to. This brings with it a host of new functions and we feel it is better than the company's...

Apple Magic Trackpad review

 

As with the Wireless Keyboard, the back edge is raised about half an inch to accommodate a cylindrical battery compartment that holds two AA batteries. You'll also find the same power button (on the left-hand side) and screw-shut battery-compartment...

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...

Magic Trackpad review

 

The Magic Trackpad may not be Apple's attempt to completely replace the mouse, but when you can fit almost your entire hand on it, it's easy to see how it could turf your USB rodent off your desk. Does it deserve pride of place on your worktop, or is...

Ace design, multitouch gestures

Isn't better than a mouse for design and professionals

Pricey but effective - your standard Apple fare

Apple Magic Trackpad review

 

Undoubtedly better than a laptop touchpad, but does anyone need it? And, at this price?

As an occasional timesaver or a graphics tool it has some appeal, but if we had any slight temptation to buy one purely for novelty value, the £59 inc VAT price tag kills it stone dead. If Microsoft released a trackpad and tried to charge more than the...

Magic Trackpad review

 

Bring Apple's Multi-Touch technology to Macs running Snow Leopard with the Magic Trackpad

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...
