Is Apple doing a good job?

[Vince]

Hey Vince! The Toshiba touchpad is night-and-day compared the the new apple ones! You really should check it out. Try going to Apple's site and looking at their demonstration of the new trackpad. Amazing!

I will need to save a few pennies before I can get one of those premium machines though... The newest 17" laptops are almost $3k. I will need to wait a little bit until they become more affordable...

Hey there, Steve.

I searched and found this link about the Apple trackpad:

I normally have the touchpad scrolling function turned off for my Windows Toshiba laptop, prefering to use the arrow keys for scrolling instead, because I seem to lose control of the keyboard too easily otherwise, because my fingers may wander too far towards the outskirts of the touchpad. The pages just start going wild for me due to lack of precision.

However, it seems like the Apple trackpad may necessitate two or more fingers being used simultaneously to enable the scroll function, if indeed I'm interpreting the article correctly. Not sure.
