At least it makes sense on a netbook. Have you used any of those before? It kinda requires two hands to use.. one to move the cursor, one to click the buttons. And when it's that small, two hands don't really fit anyway... See the dilemma?

While Macbook [submodel name]s don't really require these (makes it slightly harder to use, imo).. I think it'll be a hit with netbook users.. or do you prefer button-on-two-sides a là Aspire One?]]>Jun 2nd 2009 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/

Ditto that. I have a MX 1000 (best mouse ever) but I only ever plug it in when I need to hit up some FPS. I find touchpads way more ergonomic and flexible. And I also never have to move my hands from the keyboard.]]>Jun 2nd 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/Jun 2nd 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/

Why is there that Zune Pass advertisement telling us how much it costs to download from iTunes? This is Engadget; more people own Gizmondos than (exclusively) download off iTunes.
I'd prefer more mysterious pictures of that sexy Zune HD.]]>Jun 2nd 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/synaptics-shows-off-new-macbook-style-clickpad-multitouch-trac/
