How magic can a trackpad really be? We set about finding out in our
video review of the Magic Trackpad
. We're fans of the one-button trackpad surfaces on the current generation MacBook Pro laptops. Sure, it takes a little getting used to but once the initial learning (or perhaps it's an un-learning curve) is overcome, it's an ideal way to navigate and interact. Now, the same trackpad technology is available to Mac tower users, with 80 per cent more surface area than the MacBook Pro's pad.Download this episode now

Magic Trackpad
$69
- "Magic" may be a bit overblown, but the trackpad is a very logical way to interact with Mac OS X.
- Pinch zoom, right-clicking, scroll, rotate, clicking, dragging, Expose and application switching are all gestures and work very well.
- Similar in industrial design to the Mac Bluetooth keyboards.
- Uses two AA batteries.
- Connects to the computer wirelessly.
- Design is simple; one end has a power button, the other battery access.
