Want MacBook Air trackpad

soundsystem00 · Feb 23, 2008

I was watching the Zoom feature on the new macbook air. It's similar to the iphone. The trackpad on the regular macbook model seems pretty advanced, is there some sort of program to perhaps enable the zoom feature on a regular macbook?

Definitely. Zoom is a feature that's been built into the OS since at least Tiger and maybe before. It's one reason I was first interested in Macs. All you have to do is hold the control key and scroll up and down. On your Macbook trackpad, just hold the CTRL key and then use 2-finger scroll.

I think the more advanced techinques of the mac air mulit-touch pad will be something we'll see in the future through updates or with 3rd party apps

currently, I believe the "old" touchpad is fine, especially considering that we were able to zoom back with Tiger.

3 finger page browsing is retarded

See I was asking about the regular macbook having any kind of 3rd party apps that can give more functions to the trackpad. The crtl - zoom feature is cool, but not what I was looking for. Thx
