The editors didn't like

  • Easy to get lost in large surface areaSingle button click limits optionsWindows implementation is weak
  • I would like it to ship with spare magnets so that I could get and use a new trackpad or keyboard if need be
  • Lackluster Windows support
  • No Digitizer support
  • Customizations are limited
  • Not a true mouse replacement for most
  • 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
  • Dragging and dropping never works as well as it does with a mouse. Can't truly customize gestures. A tad overpriced.
  • Learning curve if you're used to trackpads with buttons or to traditional computer mice. Only works as a two-button scrolling mouse in Boot Camp/Windows.
  • Requires two AA batteries
  • Might take you a while to adjust to a new method of input.
  • Clickable buttons at corners don't work well if Trackpad isn't placed on a hard surface
  • Limited software customization
  • Rechargeable batteries not included
  • Not as precise as a mouse
  • Takes up more desk space than traditional mouse
  • Doesn't work with Windows PCs

  • multitouchinterface; instructievideo’s ingebouwd in controlepaneel; ziet er aantrekkelijk uit,
  • leren kan lang duren; beperkte functionaliteit onder Windows; werkt op batterijen.
  • Tegenwoordig leren de meeste mensen eerder computeren op een laptop dan op een traditionele desktop. Voor hen voelt een trackpad vaak vertrouwder aan dan een computermuis.  Apple, dat veel ervaring heeft met trackpads die met meerdere vingers tegelijk bed...

  • Abstract:  Entre as diversas qualidades de Steve Jobs, uma que merece reconhecimento é o desembaraço em deixar certas tecnologias para trás. Foi ele quem abandonou os disquetes quando eles ainda eram parte do cotidiano dos usuários ainda no distante ano de 1999, e...

  • Abstract:  Att hitta rätt mus till din Mac är ingen barnlek. Utbudet av möss är enormt, och till skillnad från tangentbord fungerar i princip allihop lika bra med Macen som med en pc. Här kommer vi gå igenom några av de bästa och populäraste mössen för att besvara d...

  • Abstract:  Det är i princip en stor tryckkänslig yta under tangentbordet. Nu släpper Apple sin musplatta som en lös trådlös enhet för stationära datorer.Ansluts Magic Trackpad till en Macintosh fungerar den perfekt. Samspelet mellan ens fingrar och det som sker p...

  • Abstract:  Det var med stor förväntan som vi fick lägga händerna på Apples nya styrplatta, Magic Trackpad. Inte minst då vi i nummer 5/2010 av MacWorld skrev om framtidens användargränssnitt. En av profetiorna i den artikeln var just en multitouchlösning för bor...

  • Abstract:  9 August 2010 “Varför ska notebook-användare få ha allt roligt för sig själva?” Det frågar sig Apple när de nu lanserar nya Magic Trackpad. Och visst, det är en elegant tingest. En kvadratisk platta på 13×13 centimeter, platt och grå och utseendemässi...

  • Abstract:  Du kan have den stående ved siden af tastaturet i stedet for en . Her kan du med højre hånd (eller venstre for den sags skyld) styre musen med fingeren. Det går ikke lige så hurtigt som med en – men efter lidt træning går det.Fordelen ved Magic er, a...

  • Sædvanligt ultralækkert Apple-design. Virker lige så godt som Apples markedsledende pegeplader på bærbare.
  • Mangler musens præcision.
  • Magisk? Nej. Der er heller intet banebrydende nyt over Apples nyeste legetøj. Den er eminent til enkelte opgaver, men besværlig til andre: Både grafikere, gamere og andre, der kræver præcision, bør have en mus som backup. ...

  • Abstract:  En stor berøringsfølsom flade, hvor det venstre museklik er bygget direkte ind i pladen. En touchpad, der nu er lanceret i en trådløs version til brug med stationære computere.Og tilsluttes den en Macintosh, fungerer den magiske pegeplade perfekt. Der...

  • Udvider dine betjeningsmuligheder, mere ergonomisk korrekt end mus
  • Er vanedannende
