There is a wonderful thing there since 1941. It's called: a mouse.
I don't know what you do but if I need something done it's either at work, where I have a docking station with all that ergonomic stuff attached to it like a mouse or keyboard, or it is at home where...you probably guessed it already, I have just another docking station and/or a Desktop-PC.
Even if I work on a train and don't have a table, I mostly use my keyboard for work. So I'm curious what involves so much mouse movement to base such a huge change primary on a touch pad.
- jimyer 10y agoHonestly, I was just like you. I could never understand those Mac users. Why the hell would they work with touchpad. It's ridiculous and can't even compare to mouse. About a year ago I was forced to switch to Mac ( forced by work). And, trust me, it is a Big deal. This is one of the things I loved about Mac. I have a "docking station" (not per se) with wireless keyboard, touchpad and mouse. And I find myself finding using touchpad much more often than mouse. Because it IS comfortable. Obviously, for some specific things that require precision mouse is much better. But for fast workflow, touchpad and its gestures are awesome. Similarly at home, I can use it anywhere without bringing mouse with me. And not struggling with terrible ( admittedly my cheap) pc touchpad.
- ebalit 10y agoI think it's that Mac touchpads are really well integrated with the OS. I could never used multiple desktop on Linux. But after one day on a MacBook Air (that a colleague lent me) it became my natural workflow. The three-finger swipe on the touchpad that swipe between virtual desktop is awesome. I tried to replicate this on another OS, but sadly I failed.
