Aluminium Unibody MacBook Review: Part 5 - MacBook Trackpad

[yoyickyyo]

umm what with the microphone?

[minituff]

Just click with 2 fingers to secondary click!!!!!!!

[sucram4545]

is that the rock band mic.... lol

[Beastumable]

Has anyone used the trackpad for gaming. I specifically want to know about the right click.

[Ecolah97]

Likaith ^9) w??___p

[Beastumable]

WTF are you saying?

[Ecolah97]

haha nothing..did you get it tho??im getting it on friday

[EliaForce1984ita]

for right click just touch it with 2 fingers

[drummerkid1993]

You can change the settings so the bottom right of the trackpad is a right click but i would reccomend connecting a mouse for gaming. I use a small microsoft notebook mouse.

[8innergate]

i havent used it for gaming but the right click is spot on

[1993gandy]

get a usb mouse for it

[socnnr1]

hardly notice the edit at 5.45 :-)

[tavogp]

ur making this review ur bitch keep em coming!!!!

[stickyslide]

I like the way people from england say aluminum lol

[dirtbikerider123456]

well i guess its just the right way to say it then :P

[birdassniggga]

secondary click is easier when you use two fingers to tap anywhere on the trackpad (with tap to click enabled)... that way you don't have to worry about missing the exact spot.

[slavendrijvert]

Do you think the next generation macbooks will have hdmi?

[DRBUK]

Nope, i dont think we will ever see hdmi with Apple laptops or computers, as apple are adapting and prefer display port over hdmi.

[zahi745]

are you just talking about apple or all computers? b/c ur correct about apple not using it. but i was at the sony style store at the mall, their laptops and computers did have hdmi which was cool and weird at the same time b/c i don't really know what's the point of having that port there unless u hook up a ps3 to it (if it was possible) or a blueray player.

[DRBUK]

like i said, apple laptops, others use hdmi, but tbh i dont see the point, so i doubt will see the point of using hdmi, they are much happier using display port, tbh dell have been using display port years ago, even i knew about it a good 2 years ago, and liked display port.

[zahi745]

oh ok i was just making sure that's all. =]

[justamar]

they have it though the Mini Display Ports, there was a third party company that released this, You can always go from MD-->DVI-->HDMI. I have a DVI unboxing/setup for my macbook in my channel. hope this helps...

[ChrisMac1996]

for the secondary click you can also take two fingers and click thats what i use

[zenrana99]

where did you get ur wallpaper from

[chazybrewster]

Excellent vid man, these Macbook videos have been great in general and REALLY in depth... Do you find you actually use the multi-touch gestures that often?

[DRBUK]

im so stupid.forgot to mention that.lol. i use them 247, 365, every time i use other laptops or computers i keep reaching my hand for the multi touch gestrue trackpad.lol. i cant go back to another system without those gestures now !

[DaveyHatchet]

Is there any reason you're not physically reviewing it? You do have it right? lol

[DRBUK]

My camera will not pick up on details and its not very good quality in the bad lightin of my room, easy to use photos, obv i have it.lol. Im using it to film and edit.lol but ii know wat u mean

[DaveyHatchet]

Oh yeah I completely forgot you were recording with it haha. Great review by the way,and nice job on all your stuff. I watch everything you post ;)

[Phr0styProductions]

What if, Instead of the mighty mouse having the 360 degree scroll ball, it had a small piece of rounded glass flush to the mouse which could be used for scrolling just by sliding your finger over it.

[Punkdoggy800]

I'd be A:LL ove that

[yeemandan]

Do you think Apple will release the multi-touch mouse before Snow Leopard comes out?

[CoolEnufForaMac]

Great video series. Very informative, and I like the detail you're paying to each aspect of the MacBook.

[theapplefreakk]

Yeah; What apple is good with is that they take products and make them much better.

[xsonicbladex]

They listen to the complaints of the crowd. If microsoft was to do that with windows vista, they would be BROKE.

[beejm90]

Great video Adrian. One thing you forgot to mention about secondary clicking, Is that you can also activate It by turning on two finger clicking. When I first got my Aluminium MacBook Pro, I did like you & used the right corner of the trackpad for secondary clicking. However, I later found out that In everyday use that I was running Into the same Issues as you. So I tried the two finger clicking option & haven't looked back since. To me, It's a much smoother & simpler way to use secondary click.

[christheferal]

I so should have patented it when I thought of the idea to have the whole trackpad as a button... that is after I made the prototype... which I never did.... shut up... lol.

Enjoying these reviews :)

[rohitgaba1990]

cant you just click with 2 fingers for a right click ?

im not sure just heard it from someone.

[DRBUK]

yes u can, i still use it but more so the button..

[HD1525]

copying is way of moving foward because apple copies alot of software of adobe

[christheferal]

Copying isn't a way of moving forward, collaborating is.

[5oRaFe]

great review as always! keep up the good work man

[skanshackur6]

hey adrian.. Just wondering.. are you going 2 do a vid on the graphics of ure MacBook?.. Is the integrated GPU good? or should one opt for the dedicated GPU... Thanks..

[DRBUK]

i actually am not going to do a performance video. now im not the most hardware centric person, but as far as i know the gpu is the nvidia 9400 which uses a dedicated 256MB of VRAM, i would say it does the job nicely for graphic intense applications, and some games, i mean you could use it for video editing and photo editing. if you want more power in terms of graphics, thats where the macbook pros come in hand. if u pm me, i could send u some benchmarks for this macbook

[skanshackur6]

thanks adrian... that would b great..

[izak1992]

apple is reinventing the touch pad....in macs and on ipod and iphone !

[masterm1k3]

I think this is better than "regular review". Most people just go on about the laptop something like this:

"It's fast, I've had no problems with it and it looks awesome".

This is more in depth, it goes through the whole computer step by step. Buy you haven't really talked about using it that much. Maybe in the next video.

I would like to hear some impressions on the day-to-day use, actual battery life.

[DRBUK]

lol yep ur ahead of me, i have that in the last video which is tomorrow ! general thoughts, things like that ! this review is, supposed to be detailed, because at the end of the day, these products are NOT CHEAP, so ppl should want to know as much as possible before making the decision.

[theunits3]

Adrian, just out of curiosity - why didn't you just combine all 6 videos in the 1 video? You've got unlimited video lengths, so might as well make the most of it. It would just help everyone find your videos and not having to click through 5 separate videos. Anyways, good video as always

[DRBUK]

no one will sit and watch a 1 hour review on youtube.lol. your the only person so far who has suggested that. every comment i have got was saying its good its seperate.lol. plus it would be WAY TO HARD for me to film all at once, its impossible for me to do a video like that. it takes me ages to record, re-take and edit.

[theunits3]

lol - i wasnt suggesting recording an hours worth of footage in the one day. just like you done with these seperate ones, record them over a few days and then put it in the one video.

[DRBUK]

ye ye i get u, no one will watch a very long video especially if its ME REVIEWING.lol. it wont happen, if it was someone else reviewing and did a 15 min video maybe, because thats there review...lol. mine go on for ages, i get what ur saying, but its hard for my style, but ill see wat i can do !

[linnjones]

I only press on the down side anyway :) But I like it still :)

[AUSmactec]

Nice.

[tscallum123]

Great video Adrian

[TimurDaFunk]

I  miss the old style of vids adrian

[DRBUK]

oh i have those too, but i cant apply those to a DETAILED REVIEW, if i did my review would be just the same as many useless reviews. i say useless because there really isnt a single review on a laptop that i would say proves useful, when i was initially switching to mac, there was hardly any decent reviews, on apple products. this review is supposed to help anyone thinking of buying. after tomorrow i will mix the older style vids with the iPhone review, so ppl dont get bored !

[TimurDaFunk]

Ok , I wasn't saying i was bored by these series but youre older vids seem to be more 'fun' to watch

tc

[000pppmnbvcxz]

The track pad is one of the best in the world if not the best any one agree.

PS- not really sure on my comment.
