Apple Magic Trackpad 2 review: Solid performer doesn't feel essential

The Magic Trackpad 2 is shockingly large and blindingly white. It looks kind of a like a futuristic thing you’d find in a high-tech kitchen, like a smart scale or a wireless charging station or a heating pad that keeps your coffee at the perfect temperature for hours. But this Cheeto-unfriendly slab is really a giant, standalone version of the Force Touch trackpad in this spring’s 12-inch MacBook, along with the later MacBook Pro refresh.</p><p>
The Magic Trackpad 2 brings Force Touch to the desktop: It’s an option with the new iMacs (or you could choose the Magic Mouse 2), and available on its own for $129 (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ2R2LL/A/magic-trackpad-2). With plenty of room to take advantage of Apple’s entire repertoire of gestures, it’s a fun trackpad to use. But until its marquee feature—Force Touch—is utilized a little more widely, it’s not a must-have for most people.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2995044/input-devices/apple-magic-trackpad-2-review-solid-performer-doesnt-feel-essential.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
