Easy to use, though nobody had used one previously, Superb finish, Works perfectly on your Mac and well on PC, Nice replacement for the mouse in many cases, You can set it to your liking (on Mac)
A new outlay for a product with questionable lifespan, Need to cheat a bit to install it on PC, Very slight latency between movement on pad and the screen, The upper part of the pad is hard to click, Doesn't work well on dualscreen. Best to use it on a single screen.
The Pad is useful, pretty and practical, but for how long? It replaces the mouse nicely for many usages, but as soon as touch screens come on stream, you'll be putting it away in a drawer never to be seen again. Your mouse will still be useful....
Apple's Apple Magic Trackpad is pretty expensive for an unnecessary peripheral, but it works as advertised and can even make general desktop activity a little easier than a mouse at times. We've a long way to go yet before we'll be persuaded to part with ...

Large, Multi-Touch surface; works identically to Apple’s laptop trackpads; rugged, portable design matches Apple’s keyboards; easy setup
Not as precise as a mouse or trackball; not ideal for large screens or multiple displays
If you're a big fan of the Multi-Touch trackpads on Apple's current laptop models, the Magic Trackpad is for you. It gives you the same clickable, glass surface and Multi-Touch gestures, as those laptop trackpads in a wireless desktop model – with the bon...
Great build, Brings multi-touch to Apple's desktop range, Gestures are genuinely quicker than using a mouse
Bit expensive, Takes a bit of time to become familiar with, Doesn't work with all programs
Not precise enough for intricate work, but this is a relatively affordable way for desktop users to take advantage of intuitive and time saving multi-touch gestures
