My Advice to Mac Notebook Users
Put your mouse away.
The fact that it sounds dirty is just an added bonus, but I’m being serious. I’m talking to you switchers, in particular (and welcome, by the way). Now put the mouse away. I know that you have pre-conceived notions about the usability and usefulness of the trackpad, but this ain’t your PC’s trackpad. I think you’ll be surprised.
Look, it’s not for everyone, I know, but give it a try. When you do:
- Embrace the full immersion technique and do so for a solid week or so.
- Learn the multi-touch gestures.
- Fight the urge to return to the familiarity of the mouse.
What have you got to lose? Who wouldn’t love to go mobile with one less peripheral?
