Maybe the iPad and the MacBook will grow into the same product someday, but for now the trackpad is their main point of common reference. It's a tiny change, that we hope it carries across older MacBook Pros via a software update, and we can't help but notice that it closes the gap even further between the touch-gesture world of the iPhone OS and the Mac OS X multitouch experience. It's great to use on long Web pages or documents. One welcome tweak, "inertial scrolling," has been added to the pad's settings it allows the trackpad to work much like an iPhone's or iPad's screen for flick-scrolling documents with two-finger gestures. We still wonder why nobody else makes touch pads this large or comfortable to use with multitouch. The large glass multitouch clickable trackpad we love also remains the same. The 2010 model's keyboard feels slightly sturdier, although the differences may be too small to quantify. We liked Apple's raised, backlit, chiclet-style keyboard before and we still like it now.
