Apple Magic Trackpad: Unboxing & Demo

[elggne2011]

you think that is nice because is apple heyy!... it is a shit..

[itsnickyeah]

We're all raised differently. Who gives a FUCK how americans pronounce shit, like jesus fuckin christ!

[foxxx414]

Sir Humphry Davy who named it was British, he named it aluminium and pronounced it such that it would sound similar to lithium, magnesium etc. Americans are wrong, get over it!

[foxxx414]

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) officially standardised on aluminium in 1990, though this has done nothing, of course, to change the way people in the US spell it for day to day purposes.

Super review, thank you, man!

Tomorrow will buy myself the same :)

[krazyboypimp]

Nice watch

[CaptainWicker]

Nice Presentation. :-)

[djsouljaboy93]

DAMN! AND I BUYED WIRELESS KEYBOARD!

[ukmale164]

@djsouljaboy93 No such thing as 'BUYED'. It's bought. Past tense, souljiaboy.

[spoonyb101]

Thank you for this nice presentation!

[JoshStraitiff]

You forgot to mention the date on the penny and the condition its in....

[MasterHaidar]

why are your nails so perfectly trimmed haha

[CarolynBreaks]

Can you use it on iPad2?

[jtwith]

@CarolynBreaks um, no. how the hell could you use a trackpad with an iPad? that makes no sense. it's a touch-screen device. it'd be impossible to use a trackpad...you have to touch the screen to do things, it's not a laptop.

[ukmale164]

@jtwith In theory it is possible. All you need is a cursor and you can point and click. Although for me, I'd only do that if I had my iPad connected to my tv.

[TetraInc]

was wondering why there was a hotdog there

[dextern1]

How much would it cost to buy the magic trackpad and the wireless keyboard together. I know it says 69.99 each but I know there is tax just wanted an estimate

[partyytigerr]

I've always had a soft spot for trackpads... I hate Mice!!

[bloodyboy678]

@DetroitBORG.  What do u use more the magic mouse or the trackpad? I need ur opinion bc I'm don't know what to get for my Mac

[bloodyboy678]

@detroitBORG

[KillAzzish]

I don't like it,because:alot fingers to command it so i don't remember what function that finger is doing.

[TheClonesoldier]

Wow. I didn't know about these awesome features! Thanks for let me know that. If I have a Mac, I'm going to buy this trackpad instead the Magic Mouse :)

[ddos411]

thumbs up if you are watching this video via iPad

[blackberryboldjeff]

NO APPLE STICKERS???!!! Back to Best Buy I go...Thumbs Up for the review!

[gabrielddc]

The best review!

[citizenofnj]

Good tutorial for the setup. i probably couldn't have figured it out myself without it.

[kenneth123uyt]

can you use the apple track pad for windows? ;)

[MrCajunboy1]

what camera do you use

[bloodyboy678]

Great video like always!!!!!!

[shayaanzkhawaja]

nice vid



[ak47sim123]

does this work on windows

[Topflh1]

what headset do u use?

[maazrashid123]

i like your videos too much thanks for making this vidoes

[Yaguar432]

задрот какой то

[tom9730]

Who would actually have this right next to the keyboard (about how it fits against the wired keyboard)? No one would have them touching while they are using them, that just wouldn't be a natural feel to have it that close.

[azmidasimin]

does it works with windows?? anyone?

[omabakkanaal]

are you european?

[timej1998]

realy nice vid!

keep up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[86123maxxi]

Wonder if I should get the Magic trackpad, I am starting to hate my Magic mouse and going back to my Apple Wireless Pro Mouse is a no no.

[DetroitBORG]

@SHAHRIAR283 It can, but it requires a driver hack. 

[lD10Sl]

Would you recommend the magic trackpad, magic mouse, the logitech m570 or the Microsoft arc touch mouse???

[DetroitBORG]

@lD10Sl Of all of those, I would go with the Magic Mouse thanks largely to the gesturing surface, which I find invaluable.

[TheAk47Enthusiast]

You should get the magic wand for your trackpad/ wireless keyboard combo. It connects the two together to make one seamless row and really tidies up your workspace.

[BIGC1324]

Will the magic trackpad work with any bluetooth equipped notebook, like an Alienware?

[DetroitBORG]

@BIGC1324 No, the diver support isn't there naively. There is a hack which lets you install it, but the functionality you see with the Mac is not available on a PC.

[DetroitBORG]

@DetroitBORG Whoops, I mean natively, not naively ;)

[rdfrsilva]

THANKSSS a LOT!!!

You make the best unboxings I have EVER seen!

[DetroitBORG]

@rdfrsilva Thank You :)

[imacc2009]

Can you connect the magic mouse and magic trackpad to 1 mac at the same time?

[DetroitBORG]

@imacc2009 Yes, that's what I do actually.

[Alantgv]

@DetroitBORG

Can you use both the trackpad and magic mouse in tandem? (like using the trackpad for gestures and the mouse for clicking at the same time)

[UKTuTS]

FFS It's AL-YOU-MIN-E-UM not AL-OO-MIN-NUM!!

[DetroitBORG]

@UKTuTS Not where I come from :P.

[tom9730]

@UKTuTS

Sorry, but he says it correctly.  You guys say it wrong. :)

[MySchizoBuddy]

@UKTuTS british and american pronunciation of Aluminum is different. Both are correct.

[endlessbass]

@MySchizoBuddy You just spelt Aluminium wrong, and that my friend is why both are not correct lol.

[jtwith]

@endlessbass AluminIum is the UK spelling. Aluminum is American.

[jtwith]

@jtwith *aluminum lol

[AudioRecovered]

@jtwith Aluminium is the UK spelling

[jtwith]

@AudioRecovered That's what I said lol

[coropa1996]

@UKTuTS you sound annoying

[Jason16Lynch]

@UKTuTS They say it differently in america who cares, don't have a shit fit about it, im irish and we say it the same as the uk but we dont get angry when someone says it differently

[jtwith]

@UKTuTS Not everyone lives in the UK...

[ukmale164]

@UKTuTS Exactly. It's not luminous, it doesn't glow in the dark. It's alla-min-yhum. American's speak our language all wrong, Everything has to be different. It's not 9/11 its 11/9! It was our language first, you adopted it. retards.

[mrhaas93]

no need to use a mouse ?

[MortallicA91]

is it possible it use this with a pen or something? so you use it for drawing in photoshop or other programs

oh, it doesnt have sensitivity detector though...

[Dojan5]

@MortallicA91 You're better off getting a drawing tablet, this is mainly for mouse operations rather than drawing.

That said there are certain styluses that work with capacitive touchscreens (such as the ones found on iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch.

They may work on the trackpad, but it will still perform like a mouse.

[CArBoNDOGAnGStaFLO]

11 people got hurt by the clicking

[lucia1975ful]

@CArBoNDOGAnGStaFLO IN CHE SENSO?

[CArBoNDOGAnGStaFLO]

@lucia1975ful Huh,

Can you speak english please

[lucia1975ful]

@lucia1975ful I translante: in which mode?

[supastylinboi]

I wish they'd make a flat slap that i can sit in front of my keyboard, rather than beside it (for faster, more convenient use)

[L3GITFIXIE]

hi i love ur review , just expressing a fact, the wireless keyboard is exactly same angle and match exactly perfect

[L3GITFIXIE]

i love it <3 haha i just got my iMac

[DansMultiMedia]

but.... what if i dont have a penny.

[DetroitBORG]

@DansMultiMedia Then you've got other problems ;)

[DollasyneChase]

Wow

[arici19]

Hello Mr. DetroitBORG!

Just one quick question today: what app or software do you use to record your screen without a camera? You know, just the screen, not the whole iMac...

P.S. Awesome vid! Have you considered using it with the aluminum MacBook, you know, just because it is bigger?

Thank you,

arici19

[DetroitBORG]

@arici19 I used QuicktTime to record the screen in this case, but ScreenFlow is currently the best software for screen recording. I haven't considered it for the MBP, the trackpad is sufficient.

[SmexMuffins]

The fingers in the demo look stubby as hell for 3 finger o.o

[chrisatultimate]

Great video, very informative thanks.

[nurnurburgur]

first in july 28, 2011!!

[LittleBigVita]

can you use the magic mouse and the magic trackpad at the same time? (like using the mouse to use the mouse pointer and the trackpad for ''commands'' like in OSX lion, such as three fingers swipe in safari)

[DetroitBORG]

@LittleBigVita Yes you can, that's exactly what I do on my iMac.

[TheUsaidkhan]

what do use most for work?

[DetroitBORG]

@TheUsaidkhan The Magic Mouse, the Trackpad is dreadful for editing video.

[EdwardoisKing]

Thanks for the attention to detail! Makes our decisions easier, lol.

[DetroitBORG]

@EdwardoisKing My pleasure!

[ADKIc3mAnX36O]

I would not buy those Apple rechargeable batteries mine don't charge anymore

[DetroitBORG]

@ADKIc3mAnX36O I've had issues with the charger, but not the battery.

[marimh13]

excellent demonstration! thank you so much! i couldnt figure out how to enable all of the functions but this was great help!

[DetroitBORG]

@marimh13 Glad to help!

[soulsilvermaster123]

@gedscomedy Exactly why I want to get it! I want to use all of the features in OS X 10.7 Lion! Yes!

[ViceJam]

@soulsilvermaster123 What's the difference between OS X and OS X Lion?

[DetroitBORG]

@ViceJam Lots of changes there, reverse scrolling, many new gestures...probably best to search for some Lion demos to get an idea.

[ViceJam]

@DetroitBORG First off, thanks for the reply. I would do a search for Lion demos only I don't really know anything before Lion well enough to know what was a new feature or not that OS X didn't have already.

[59jattboy]

what is a trackpad

[DetroitBORG]

@59jattboy Essentially, it's a computer mouse.

[britishmariobros]

@59jattboy Google-it

[Sappily]

I like your hands.

[muh1h1]

buetiful device <3

[XElitexHitmanX]

This deserves a thumbs up..Excellent review and unboxing

[TheMasterofganja]

Great review, very professional and informative. Keep them coming!

[MineCraft1231234]

its not that good as i thought it was

[noahju09]

i think that you should put a apple sticker on that razor blade since it is like a designated apple opener in all of your videos

[fuel126]

I am debating whether or not I want to get this. Does anyone see any advantages for this over the magic mouse?

[gedscomedy]

@fuel126 I'm getting it for when lion is released :) I want to able to use all of the new gestures :D

[MrJJ1030]

not only is it expensive, you also need money to insert the batteries XD

[pinkfloydsweden]

DetroitBORG's got nice hands

[giorgio1apple]

how is this different from the surface from the magic mouse? is it the same with different area surface or a different function?

[Goshipfiend]

better products worth more, so then why so many people keep buying macs?

[MrJJ1030]

@Goshipfiend windows arent worth more then macs when configured the same, even when the windows pc has a better config. ex: my acer has better specs than my macbook pro, but the macbook pro cost $1200 and the acer cost $550

[THEDEMON1989]

Excellent vid mate cheers, really want a mac now lol

[theoharis27]

i am looking forward for my new imac! it will come this week end!

[chronofusion]

you could also use a butter knife to open the battery compartment door :P :D or if you take great care of your finger nails ( long or preferably short in length) you could use your finger nail :P. great clean video and audio on this video btw. cheers

[zackblackmamba]

so Microsoft makes products that work with a Mac, but with limited features, and Apple makes products that are in no way compatible with windows?

i guess thats why you pay double the price for an OS and a white cover

[WinAlIDay]

@zackblackmamba No no no.. you're doing that "Anything Apple makes people will do crazy for" thing. Its not the white cover. All they have to do it stick an Apple on it and people go nuts.

[zackblackmamba]

@WinAlIDay ugh, apple fanboys

if you like apple more than PC, fine, youre opinion, but apple is wayyyy to overpriced

[WinAlIDay]

@zackblackmamba I was helping you... Its not the white cover. All they have to do is put an apple logo on it and sell it and people go nuts.

[Speedogg138]

@zackblackmamba Except my iMac is 100% compatible with Windows both natively and through virtualization.

[wildobserver]

I'm getting one.

[mackid2011]

Will you get a Mac Pro?

[AceBulletProductionz]

can it be used on a computer? like vista or windows 7?

[DetroitBORG]

@AceBulletProductionz Yes, but it requires a hack. I have a tutorial on my channel.

[MrJJ1030]

@AceBulletProductionz macs are computers by the way..

[ers954]

cool

[ValisX]

dammit. i just ordered one... didnt realize you needed 10.6 to run it!!!!

[ihatenjoi]

@ValisX Dude, it's fine. Hold on to your track pad and one day when you get an OS update you can use it. (:

[ValisX]

@ihatenjoi I updated to Snow Leopard.

Since I'm a relatively new Apple convert i didn't realize updating the OS was such a painless, seamless process on a Mac.

the trackpad is fantastic

[MieleW3985]

ur screen is all blurred

[ZeroCandy]

It doesn't come with stickers... :( 

[DetroitBORG]

@ZeroCandy Their accessorries seldom do.

[Horton094]

@DetroitBORG W

[oribali1]

I thumbed up this video with my new Magic Trackpad :)

[DetroitBORG]

@oribali1 Yep, thumbs work on the Trackpad too :)

[fdsfjsdfjjl]

You sound a bit like a young Alan Alda. ;)

[ArmoredDax]

Ugh an external trackpad i dont know anyone that would want this even if they did have a mac

[WWEFreak666]

@ArmoredDax As someone with a MacBook Pro who is going to buy an iMac at one point, I will definitely get this, because i'm so familiar with the trackpad.

[JSantana319]

That's a bad ass device. I love it when I play with the trackpad with the 27 inch iMac at the Apple store. It feels like you're using a 27 inch laptop and not a desktop, lol.

[ghostwound898]

No stickers :'(

[woleksy1997]

can I use mouse ( Magic Mouse ) and trackpad both in the same time?

[DetroitBORG]

@woleksy1997 Yep, that's what I do infact.

[ziyed23]

6 windows users dislike this XD

[laptop504]

Will this work with a PC with bluetooth?

[DetroitBORG]

@laptop504 It does, but not easily. I have a tutorial on how to set that up.

[lilipad1980]

Hey 0Dargor0, zero being the operative number, try thinking outside the box. Let's see, for people who have Carpal tunnel syndrome or other such ailments, arthritis, etc., this would be a godsend. For graphic artists who have their hand scrunched on a mouse for hours, this would be a godsend. For people who use their Mac mini as a DVR/big screen computer, this would obviate the need for a flat surface to operate the mouse. These are just the possibilities I thought of in a few minutes.

[0Dargor0]

you got to be sedentary enough to buy such a expensive thing just because of the lazy of clicking in the buttons of a picture viewer program ...

[DetroitBORG]

@0Dargor0 Not sure how good interface design equates to lazyness.

[0Dargor0]

@DetroitBORG I just thing it is not worth it: Price x Utility. My mouse does everything it does. It´s just I click in some buttons.

[inuadi]

Dude, you are hands down the best reviewer on Youtube

Your knowledge and in depth analysis on every product has really amazed me

Just was wondering if you could do reviews of Android and WP7 devices as well

Otherwise, excellent job and keep up the good work :)

[DetroitBORG]

@inuadi Thank You! I would love to but I only have a budget bick enough for Apple stuff right now. Maybe in the future :).

[Johno5374]

Brilliant!! Both Pad & Vid.

[DetroitBORG]

@Johno5374 Thanks!

[barakbiton]

expensiv crap

[hydrofal78]

thank you very useful video . can it be used for drawing ? instead of a tablet i am considering to buy & use a magic trackpad . has anyone sketched or drawn with it ?

[pman590]

Does it damage the battery compartment when using a coin?

[DetroitBORG]

@pman590 Not at all.

[pman590]

@DetroitBORG Can i just ask, how do you record the screen like when showing the trackpad bluetooth verification thing?

[DetroitBORG]

@pman590 I used QuickTime Screen Recorder on the Mac.

[tekzunited]

@pman590 How do you handle your hardware, with gloves or with silk?

man it uses battery's how freaking old is that .

[shan2dude]

dude you really rock the comparison was awesome everyone should post the video like you

[DetroitBORG]

@shan2dude Thank You :)

[jack390]

after you buy a dektop why would you need a track pad from laptop?

[OnanTheMan]

@jack390 You have a mouse and a trackpad at the same time. The trackpad does all the multitouch, where the mouse only does 4 or 5

[jack390]

@OnanTheMan hmm not sure what you mean exactly cuz the mighty mouse has multi touch too....

[OnanTheMan]

@jack390 If you mean the magic mouse, yes it does but the magic trackpad has many more multitouch features.

[jack390]

@OnanTheMan you can get magic prefs, like i do and you can sutomize it sooo much... add a third button, 4 finger swipe, 4 finger click, 3 finger tap etc... ALOT more options im sure...go check it out.

[jones6367]

Thanks for comparing the trackpad with the wired Mac keyboard. I was worried that they wouldn't be the same angle. I didn't want to get a wireless Mac keyboard because it's lacking the numpad.

[DetroitBORG]

@jones6367 My pleasure, glad to have informed a shopper :)

[pman590]

@jones6367 Yes it does lack a numpad but still you can use numbers at the top, just how you prefer to use them.
