2010-07-29
what's up everyone jon rettinger and technobuffalo here at that unboxing for you of Apple's newest peripheral the magic trackpad so let's go ahead and dig in this is going to set you back about 70 bucks and it is essentially the same track pad that you're going to get in a macbook or macbook pro or even a macbook air but larger and made external for use with deck desktops or laptops this will work with a pcs as well so we're going to go dig in we use the nail clippers of doom here for this the big ol knife will make a comeback go ahead and pull it out so there is the magic trackpad and a very sort of familiar Apple packaging got a picture of the device on the front magic trackpad wireless multi-touch trackpad letting you know again that is a wireless in case of that Wireless didn't mean enough for you Apple logo on the side got some information here on the back about some of the gestures that you can do with it point click double click right click click and drag to finger scrolling rotate pinch and zoom screen rotates page back info a coach applications and activate expose and so here's picture the guy using in case you didn't know you get your hands just like that there you go just like that alright so let's go ahead and dig in and see what this sucker looks like i have not seen one of these yet in person so actually pretty excited to to see one this will require a software update for max but it should sort of happen automatically when you plug it in or run software update manually from the apple logo in the corner and then update software this plastic dough can sometimes be trickier than you'd expect it to be come on alright there we go check out the plastic off go ahead and dig in of course it's apple sort of minimalistic tight package think they've become known for oh it's funny when they show the show the gestures depending on whether or not in love Apple you might want to give it give it another gesture with your finger alright so dig in here is the magic trackpad pretty much just sitting there and leave it takes probably to double-a batteries we'll go ahead and push it off the side for just a moment see what else we're going to get in the box magic trackpad instructions and that's about it I'm not they include batteries not in here that's kind of interesting what's actually see if there are batteries gonna take a look at the device itself go ahead and try and open this up if I can got some handy keys right here i think i can use to try and get this thing open i would assume that they do include batteries generally Apple had a pretty good job about that and it feels like from the weight that there are batteries in here and yes there are indeed batteries in there they are not the rechargeable ones though now Apple sells and now in the battery business these are just sort of standard batteries all right so I'll push that back in okay so here is the magic trackpad we'll go ahead and pull off the plush and see what the build quality feels like feels very much like it expect like a big trackpad that you've seen in apple laptops now the whole thing actually can be clicked it does depress the clicking mechanism is not the track pad itself like it is in the laptops actually these little feet here will actually depress actually those feet right there on the two bottom actually depressed so you can get a click anywhere you go if you can hear that I go in from the side you can probably see those sort of depressed a little bit as you clicked you can use everything it is significantly bigger than what you get on a laptop for comparison purposes let me show you actually what a standard apple laptop track that's gonna look like so I'll bring in here an older macbook I think it sort of see the keyboard or rather the attract pad comparisons between the two so there we've got trackpad and there is the magic trackpad it's or anything difficult Lee larger and go ahead put that on top you can see it extends far out over what other devices have and kind of for another size comparison here it is next to a magic mountain sort of apples other pointing device I certainly it's supposedly will fit right nicely and from what I've seen this actually fits almost flush with apples wireless keyboard let's go ahead and bring that in and take one quick look and see if that is true so here's the keyboard here's a magic trackpad and indeed it does actually sit completely flush so I don't know if whether or not you enjoy trackpad or Android traqpath definitely looks nice we'll see whether or not there's going to be some utility to it of course I'll be doing some demonstrations and showing your how it works on coming videos anyway guys I am jon rettinger from technobuffalo with an unboxing and first look at Apple's magic trackpad you
