Apple Magic Trackpad Review: SATISFIED OR NOT?

Here's my full-review of the Apple Magic Trackpad!
Probably it's one of my favourite accessories for the Macbook, and I've been using it over the last year so there's lots to say and know about it.

Hey Simone, thanks for the video. The trackpad is a bit bigger than one MacBook Air M2 (2022), right? Do you know how long it last on a charge? Also, if I move my laptop away from my desk, my standard trackpad (which is part of my Mac), will function well, right? I mean, I plan to use the trackpad only on my work desk, but not other rooms of the house. Does the black version attract fingerprints? Right now my laptop is grey and almost no fingerprints are visible. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for commenting! Let me answer all the questions: about the size, yes the trackpad is a bit bigger than the one on the MacBook Air M2 2022 (I have the Air M1 but it's almost the same as the M2), but consider that you're definitely going to notice this difference.
For the battery life I cannot give you a precise information, just because I don't use it for the same amount of time every day, it depends on the tasks I have to do. But, apart from this, trust me that it lasts a lot, you'd have no problems on this side in my opinion (I'd say easily some weeks with an important usage).
Yes if you move your MacBook you can just use the built-in trackpad with no problems. Consider that, while the external trackpad is connected, you can decide to use both the external one or the built-in, just touch it and you're ready to go! (without any connection-time)
For the fingerprints, actually no it doesn't attract them. I've seen that, after some time, it obviously gets a little but dirty for all the times that you touch and move your fingers on the surface, but that's normal throughout the time. But no, if you just put the finger on it, you'll not see the huge and clear fingerprint ahaha, that would be pretty annoying!
I hope that I've been clear and let me know if you have any other question, I'll reply to you as soon as possible!

I appreciate the English review. Thank you.

Bought it yesterday and I really like it. The multitouch is very librating and natural than the mouse. Bought the Magic Mouse and returned it because it sucks mostly because of the ergonomics and how small it is. in my opinion the Magic Trackpad size is perfect and its weight makes it sits securely wherever you put it. Also the surface texture is not "glassy" like the laptop which is a plus!

[@simone_bortolotti]

I'm glad you're having a good experience with it! Yep I know that the Magic Mouse isn't great for he ergonomics, even though I haven't tried it, in fact that's a point that makes the trackpad more "universal" and perfect for most of the people. Did you get it in the white or black version?

[@ashenone5774]

@@simone_bortolotti The white one.

[@simone_bortolotti]

@ashenone5774 good choice, the white one is usually even cheaper than the black version, even tough they’re the same

[@ashenone5774]

@@simone_bortolotti yes it is cheaper but price was not a factor. I picked white because it matches my desk more haha.

[@simone_bortolotti]

@ashenone5774 yeah that’s obviously the usual reason ahaha, even in my case I got the black one since it matched more as a color

Not good for pro motion, polling rate only 90Hz

[@simone_bortolotti]

Yep good point to notice, in my case I have a MacBook Air so I cannot verify it, but I didn't know about this "issue" on the new Pro models...

[@Hlvp1118]

can't even catch the part where u talk about the right and left click, and also the feel of clicking

[@simone_bortolotti]

first of all, the part about the right and left click is in the section of the Gestures. In fact, there’s the full list of the gestures, which contains the left click (so the main one, which is just a single tap or click) then the right click (so the secondary one, which is a tap or click with two fingers). Sorry for not talking much about those two but considering that there are plenty of gestures, I’ve decided to insert the full list so that you can see all of them. About instead the feel of clicking, that’s pretty good, nothing to complain about it. One other thing about it is that there’s even the “Silent Mode” for the click, so that you don’t hear much noise once you click on the surface of the trackpad. If you want to know something more, just let me know!

[@Burbanana]

this cant be anywhere near comfortable

[@simone_bortolotti]

I believe it’s very personal and based on tastes 🙂 I gave it a try, and it worked out well for me
