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 you can toggle it off or back on in System Preferences. </p> <ul><li><a href="#enable">How to enable or disable Force Click on OS X[/url]</li> <li><a href="#firmness">How to adjust Force Click firmness on OS X[/url]</li> <li><a href="#assign">How to assign Force Click on OS X[/url]</li> </ul><h2><a name="enable" id="enable">[/url]How to enable or disable Force Click on OS X</h2> <ol><li>Launch <strong>System Preferences</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Trackpad</strong>.</li> <li>Check or uncheck <strong>Force Click and haptic feedback</strong>.</li> </ol><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='

No doubt other functionality, and third party app implementations, will follow.</p> <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 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='
