sorry, but, what's your problem actually?!?!? (really...)

The click noise on the new MBP is at least 2x louder than my old MBP. It also produces a higher tone that sounds like cheap plastic flexing.

ah, allright... that wouldn't bother me that much... actually the glossy screen is my main concern as i'm wondering now what will i upgrade my one year old MBP to in the future? i've seen cheaper mirrors... how bad is it in real life?

Totally dependent on lighting. Seated by a window, it can be very bad with direct sunlight, but totally unnoticeable with overcast skies. The new screen is brighter however.

i own a 1st gen blacbook and there is no way i can make the trackpad button to make such a noticeable noise, no matter how hard i try....only the space key makes some noise but totally reasonable. i wonder how you made to make all three of them sound like that!

The MBP's are simply louder, but the new MBP is the loudest by far!

Just go to System Preference > Trackpad > Tap to Click and then it would be just like a PC

I dont see why there is such an issue with the "loud trackpad" on the new MBP's. I own a early 2009 with the same trackpad. I agree the click is more audible than the other models shown here. But I believe the point of the multi-touch function trackpad is the ability to use for it's TAP to click functions. Thus eliminating ALL sound for clicking.

Yah, i have used both mac and PC and can honestly say that PC takes the cake on touch pads. The new macbook shows promise with the multifinger functions, but any of the single finger functions it has, PC has been doing for years. Also, on most PC's, if you want to click quickly, you just tap. no pressing down and no click. just a quick tap. It is very convenient and completely silent. just in case you wanted to know :)

Just got a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago. Lover everything about it apart from the battery runs out amazingly quickly and the loud trackpad is very loud.

to be honest I think this just proves how good these machines are.

If the best thing you can find to complain about them is that the trackpad makes a little bit of noise then I think they did quite well in designing it. :-P
