Dummy question - MBP trackpad

tk123 · 10-01-2014 9:30pm #1

I got a (non retina) MBP this week so getting used to the trackpad gestures/scrolling etc. What's the deal with the click on the trackpad - as in pushing it down to click. It doesn't seem to do anything that tap doesn't? (hope that makes sense

)

You can set it so there is no longer a need to press down the TP and just tap instead.

I like the easy way of scrolling and the different shortcuts. 2 fingers , 3 fingers and sometimes 4 fingers to swipe

I love the Apple trackpad. Couldn't imagine using another laptop without it. It's especially useful for swiping between web pages and between full screen apps.

As for clicking or tapping. I mostly click but the tap to click feature is very handy too.

Thanks! Love it so far - the trackpad is SO handy. I held out until and i7 mode came up on the refurb store and ended up saving €300

Great decision. I would always try go for refurb too & the i7 is a screamer.
