Just purchased the Apple Magic Trackpad & wireless keyboard to go with a 2011 MBP. WOW. Just awesome. I don't even have it hooked up to a monitor yet but I can zoom and stuff with the MTP so having a smaller screen isn't a big deal.
Love to use it while I'm doing work in the kitchen. Throw the trackpad on a book and make tea, can scroll through emails ect. while I'm standing around instead of having the thing on my lap burning away my future children...it's a beautiful thing. Even if it's not your slice of pie both peripherals come in handy, just make sure you have the MTP on a book or you won't be able to click it, thats my only gripe. Would of liked the ability to click carrying it in my hand.
But theres one problem. The full functionality of the trackpad doesn't seem to work with my 09 white Macbook. I don't have 10.6.4 on it but the trackpad still works but theres no zoom, scrolling, ect. Is there a way around this or should I just give up on the MTP for the 09?
Anyways, I don't see a hdmi port on the side of the 2011 MBPro...am I missing something here or can we not hook up the new MBPs to a larger screen?
