Comments on: A New MacBook, A New Touchpad http://www.randomprocess.ca/2008/11/03/a-new-macbook-a-new-touchpad/ NOT just another WordPress weblog. What were they thinking when they came up with that tagline anyways?

That works reasonably well, but honestly even though it has one dedicated button I would prefer if it had two rather than the new direction they are moving in (i.e. none). I could also see the lack of a button being annoying when you want to highlight / copy text etc...

The reason why i love all laptops is the touchpad. The distance between touchpad and keyboard is much smaller than between mouse and keyboard. And using the touchscreen as an "all purpose" tool could push productivity even further. What a great idea.
