If you're a big fan of the Multi-Touch trackpads on Apple's current laptop models, and you've ever thought to yourself, "I wish Apple would make a trackpad for my desktop Mac," the Magic Trackpad is for you.
Read the full review →If you're a Mac user who's more comfortable using a trackpad than a mouse, get yourself to your local Apple store and pick up the Magic Trackpad.
Read the full review →If you don't mind the Apple's styling price premium over Wacom's plastic black slate, and don't care about where your trackpad is located, you will be happy with this one. But if you are looking for the laptop experience on your desktop computer, pass.
