The good: Compact, clean design; responsive multitouch gestures work as smoothly as they do on a MacBook; offers a mouse-free alternative for users who don't have space for a mouse.
The bad: Clickable buttons at corners don't work well if Trackpad isn't placed on a hard surface; limited software customization.
The bottom line: Apple's Magic Trackpad offers all the functionality of a MacBook clickpad in a standalone Bluetooth device. For most people, however, it's not worth the pricey upgrade over an existing mouse.

Very cute doorstop!
by graficus4 on September 21, 2010
Pros: Pretty and quite big.
Cons: Everything is wrong about this thing. What bothers me most is that you cannot use the system's mouse gestures because the pad doesn't support it (for example: closing a page in Opera by right-click>down>right gesture).
Summary: Unless you are a big fan of laptop trackpads, don't get this thing. I want to give my mouse a big hug and say sorry I ever doubted you!

- Description: The Magic Trackpad is the first multi-touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same multi-touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what's on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one.
