Apple Releases MacBook Pros with Multi-Touch Trackpad
Category: Mac
Apple has finally released new MacBook Pros with the innovative and advanced Multi-Touch trackpad, first introduced in MacBook Air. New MacBooks are also available but they have no multi-touch trackpads. Both lines are sporting Intel’s new Penryn processors.
Now you can flip through photos, pinch, swipe, or rotate to enlarge text using just your fingers. The Multi-Touch technology from iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Air now comes standard to all Apple’s high-end laptops in an amazing Multi-Touch trackpad. The size of the trackpad seems to be the same as before even though it has multi-touch.
