I'm Dan Ahmed and I'm here with an updated version of Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro that includes the new force touch trackpad which is a new feature that you're gonna get on the still unreleased 12 inch macbook that everyone is very excited about even though it looks the same it works a lot differently the big differences in older try pads you had kind of a hinge along the top and the whole pad would click down like this when you press on it in this pad you can click down from anywhere and if you press harder you'll click down again the second time kind of a step moving bump um and then back up bumbum like that however the pad is not actually moving what you're getting is a little bit of haptic force feedback a little pushback against your finger that gives you the illusion that the pan is actually clicking down when it's not it's remarkable even when you know what's happening on the new force touch trackpad this it's still a tiny bit of flex to the glass but it's not actually the same as clicking down that second step and clicking on the new force touch trackpad that gives you can texture more responses depending on what you're doing I can highlight a word here and then click down really hard on it and I'm gonna get like a dictionary definition or I can choose another word and click on it and I can get a Wikipedia definition and I can get new stories related to it or if I'm looking up where some place is and I have an address I can click on it with that again that deeper force click and it's gonna pop up a map I wanted to find out what would happen when we showed people the new trackpad and let them try it and then told them what was happening under their fingers and now press down harder click it and then click down more and you can feel 2 layers that go bump bump and then bump um like that it says nothing is actually happening the touchpad is not actually moving well I know that but it does feel like it's moving at there's a little bit of haptic feedback it's giving it a little jog a little shuffle kind of but it's not actually going down he has to be moving it feels like it's it's like a step step there's a step yes but it's not actually going down really it's giving you a little like that's I like completely convinced it to step down now take your finger and put it on there and press deeper feel a second level the little step up and down now here's the weird thing the pant is not actually going down at all it's not it's an illusion no it's haptic feedback it's giving you a little jog that makes it feel like you're pressing it down Wow for now you can only get the new force touch trackpad in this updated 13-inch retina MacBook Pro all total becoming an April 2 the 12-inch super slim MacBook and I bet in the next generation of all the other Mac's you'll get it as well I'm Dan Ackerman with Apple's new force touch trackpad
