[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1092142, member: 140470"] I also had the same thought when I first got a unibody MBP with gestures abilities. Now I can't live without the trackpad gestures. Just about all my most used shortcuts like back and forth in web browsers, Expose, scrolling, etc can now be done with the trackpad. It's much faster and more intuitive to use than keyboard shortcuts. I still prefer a mouse for precise and long distance frequent mouse movements but everything else I use I like using the trackpad. I actually go back and forth between a mouse and trackpad regularly on my MBP so I don't think either are perfect by themselves. For my usage they compliment each other perfectly. I don't use my desktop all that often anymore so I don't know if I would need a Magic Trackpad but it's nice to know that I now have that option. I don't have Nick's couch potato usage problem. ;) I guess it's less awkward to use for people who already have gotten used to a trackpad on their laptops. [/QUOTE]
