The first Multi-Touch Trackpad designed to work
with your Mac desktop computer, the Apple Magic Trackpad lets your
fingers do the clicking, scrolling, and swiping. The Apple Magic uses
the same Multi-Touch technology found on the MacBook PRO, 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. Inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page
more natural than ever. And users can press down anywhere on the
Multi-Touch surface to physically click or double-click on an item--no
clumsy buttons involved.
The Largest Multi-Touch Trackpad Ever
The Magic Trackpad is just like the trackpad on the MacBook Pro--but
bigger. It's made with the same advanced touch-friendly and
wear-resistant glass surface, but with nearly 80 percent more area. This
gives you even more room to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your
fingers' content. And because the entire surface is a button that
clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse without losing a hint of
functionality. The Magic Trackpad's full set of gestures includes
two-finger scrolling, pinching to zoom, rotating with your fingertips,
three-finger swiping, and activating Expose or switching between
applications with four fingers.
Plus, the trackpad is customizable.
Simply access the Magic Trackpad pane in System Preferences to enable
gestures you want and disable those you don't.
Seamless Wireless Design
The Magic Trackpad fits in perfectly with your Mac desktop, with the
same sculpted aluminum design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard. In fact,
side by side the two sit flush at the same angle and height. This lets
you go from trackpad to keyboard in a single motion, or do both at the
same time. How perfect is that?
The Magic Trackpad connects to your
Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology, so you don't have to deal with an
annoying cable that dictates where you place it. Once you pair the
Magic Trackpad with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac, you'll enjoy a reliable,
secure connection up to 33 feet away. In addition, the Magic Trackpad
detects periods of inactivity, with an automatic shutoff feature that
saves battery life. As an alternative, you can turn it off yourself.
Both options keep you gesturing for months at a time.
The Magic
Trackpad--which can work in place of a mouse or in conjunction with the
mouse on any Mac computer (even a notebook)--requires a
Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer, two AA batteries (included), Mac OS X
Snow Leopard v 10.6.4, and the latest software update.
