Pros: Easy to use. Highly versatile! Looks sweet!

Cons: Some of the gestures are not consistant. Not pressure sensitve

One of the things I'v e learned in the Apple store is 'look, but don't touch'. I know, I know that they actually encourage you to touch and touch a lot. The thing is once you touch it, you've got to have it and if there was ever a device you should keep your fingers off of, its this one. Once you run your fingers across this brushed aluminum slab, it is all over with. One finger, two fingers, three fingers, four! Pinch, swipe, back and forth, left to right, up and down!. Yes, it is technical porn. I don't even have a mouse anymore. Just my wired keyboard and this wireless wonder. 

What gets me is that it looks so minimal and yet it is so highly functional in the Apple kind of way. In the same way the iPhone has wrecked me for other phones (more than one button now frightens and confuses me), the Apple Magic Trackpad has wrecked me for mice (mouses?). I love that it sits where it sits and you don't have to worry about running out of real estate like you can with a mouse I also like the size of it compared to the size of a trackpad on a laptop. 

The only thing I don't care for is that sometimes it gets kinda jerky and that can be annoying and I don't know of a quick fix for that, not even a restart. Also it would be nice if the battery strength was more easily available in the menu bar like the Airplay menu.

This is a cool mac accessory. This product works good with mac os x lion and will also work good with the new mountain lion. The magic trackpad is like having a bigger version of the mac laptop trackpad but wireless and bigger with 2 batteries. With the magic track pad and mac os x lion it lets you do things like lots of gestures, zoom into web pages etc easily with a pinch on your iMac etc computer , use mission control easyer, access the dash board with just a swipe, access all desktops etc with a 3 finger swipe up , stroll down web pages, documents etc with just 2 fingers going either up or down of the trackpad. This is good for if you have a desktop mac with lion or later installed on it and want a mouse for it that is like the laptop trackpad with all its gestures etc is a cool accessory to have.

 

p.s. goes good with wireless keyboard to and the apple battery charger that comes with rechargeable batteries that last for whiles and save you money from having to buy replacement batteries often.
