For example, click on an icon and then Force Click to get a QuickLook, or click on a word and then Force Click to get a dictionary definition. All of this comes enabled by default on the new MacBook and on the 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro, but there are several options you can toggle and a range of features you can explore. </p> <h2>How to set up Force Click</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-setup-and-use-force-click-force-touch-trackpad' title="How to set up and use Force Click on the Mac"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/04/macbook-trackpad-callout-big.jpg?itok=TXReGSZL' />[/url]</p> <p>Force Click lets you perform a "deeper"-feeling secondary trackpad click to initiate additional actions. With a Force Click, you can do everything from bringing up Quick Look to Look Up, preview maps and websites, and more. If you don't like it, you can disable it. If you find it too hard or too easy to perform, you can change the firmness required to register a Force Click. If you don't want it assigned to the default actions, you can switch those actions to a different gesture. All of it is easy to so, right in System Preferences.</p> <ul><li>Read how to enable or disable Force Click on OS X</li> <li>Read how to adjust Force Click firmness on OS X</li> <li>Read how to assign Force Click on OS X</li> </ul><h2>How to use Force Click</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-setup-and-use-force-click-force-touch-trackpad' title="How to set up and use Force Click on the Mac"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/04/macbook-trackpad-top-hero.jpg?itok=GLhwWlCQ' />[/url]</p> <p>Apple currently ties Force Click into the Quick Look, Look Up, data detector, and detail view functions, as well as a few extras. That means you can generally go deeper just by — wait for it — going deeper. Get details in Calendar, Reminders, Messages, and more. Preview web pages, documents, addresses, and packages. Add events, markup images, and the list goes on and on.</p> <ul><li>Read how to use Force Click with Apple apps</li> </ul><div class="devicebox"> <h3>MacBook</h3> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2xEdhHgsOmA?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-2xedhhgsoma" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div>  <ul><li>MacBook review</li> <li>MacBook hands-on</li> <li>MacBook event</li> <li>MacBook buyers guide</li> <li>MacBook news</li> <li>MacBook forums</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
