Another important advantage for Apple’s engineers, claims the company, is that the static pad is less likely to break down over time and takes up a tiny bit less space than its predecessor. The old hinge made clicking easier in the lower half of the touchpad. But I’m gratified to find that little has been lost in the transition to an electronic alternative, and there’s plenty to be gained from it - in the future, if not immediately.įor example, the new design means a click at the very top of the trackpad feels the same as at the bottom. The original glass trackpad is one of the MacBook’s clearest advantages, and it seemed to me that Apple was tackling a problem that didn’t need a solution. I came to this review dreading the idea of Apple tinkering with a thing that really didn’t need changing. Apple has taken one of the last remaining mechanical parts in its laptops and replaced it with a more high-tech version that - successfully - recreates the familiar tactile response. As far as all my senses are concerned, I am clicking exactly as before. The sound of the click is simulated just like the sense of motion under my finger, but both feel real. In reality, the trackpad is fixed in place and barely moves at all. It touches you as much as you are touching itįorce Touch uses a haptic feedback system, which vibrates the pad’s surface in a way that simulates the sensation of pressing a button in. It’s the same reliable, satisfying user experience that Windows laptops have been so chronically unable to match. Press into it and you’ll hear and feel a familiar click. Touch it and you won’t notice anything different about its smooth surface. The size and shape of Apple’s new trackpad on the Pro are the same as the classic glass pad that’s been around for years now. This dual approach of moving to new technology while sticking to a familiar aesthetic is best exemplified by the Force Touch trackpad. Everything inside the machine is now faster: the processor, the memory, and the SSD have all been given a speed boost. All the upgrades have taken place within. Convinced in the superiority of its display, keyboard, and chassis, Apple has kept them all the same as in years past. The new MacBook Pro’s design is, to borrow a famous Jony Ive adverb, unapologetically unchanged.
