Quote : | "In addition to this new enclosure, Apple has made a pretty significant change to the MacBook Pro's trackpad and button—that is, the button is gone, and the enlarged trackpad is the button. Generally speaking, if you're already used to Apple's trackpads and your thumb knows where to click for the button, things aren't much different.
The entire trackpad gives tactile feedback when clicking, so when you use your thumb to click anywhere in the bottom half of the trackpad, it clicks just like a button would. (In fact, the top part of the trackpad clicks too, but barely). In our experience, we never accidentally clicked it while moving our fingers around the trackpad to navigate across the computer; it's resistant enough to not click while you're using it for tracking, but easy enough to click when you intend to.
The trackpad also knows when you are holding onto something, like a window or a folder. For example, if you are dragging a file across the desktop with your pointer finger and your thumb is holding down the invisible button on the bottom, you can let go with your pointer finger and still be holding onto the file. Move things around all you want just like you would on a normal trackpad, and it'll figure it out.
Texture-wise, the new trackpad feels almost identical to the old trackpad; an observation that Phil Schiller takes huge issue with. We were told that he insists it's "way smoother" than the old trackpad. Going back and forth between an original MacBook Air and the new trackpads seems like no difference to us. It certainly doesn't feel like glass, although that's what it is.
As expected, the trackpads are nice and huge, just like the MacBook Air. The lack of a button can sometimes throw your brain for a loop here and there, but if you choose not to think about it and just go on using the computer as you normally would, it works mostly as expected.
One of our favorite new features of the MacBook Pro's trackpad is the multitouch support, actually, and we're not just talking about using your thumb to hold onto a file while you're dragging it with your pointer finger. Apple has introduced one, two, three, and four-finger multitouch gestures with this machine—more than any previous Mac laptop. The usual ones are all there—two-finger scrolling, pinch and zoom, document rotation, and two-finger-right-click. But now, if you're using a new MacBook Pro, you can also use three fingers to go back and forth in Safari, for example (three finger swipes do different things in different applications). Four finger swipes let you switch between apps like you would with Command+Tab, and four-finger swipes up and down activate Exposé and/or expose your desktop.
This doesn't seem like much to fawn over on paper, but once you get used to some of those four-finger swipes, you'll fall in love. Since a few other Macs (such as the MacBook Air) already have two-finger gesture support, we hope that Apple adds some of this functionality to other machines via Software Update in the near future.
