How the trackpad integrates into the operating system with gestures, two-finger movements and such is just incredible and leaves absolutely every other computer in the dust feature-wise. The Mighty Mouse is truly awful. It's possibly the worst piece of hardware Apple has ever created. I always use Logitech (or similar) mice with my Apple computers, because Apple's mice suck so much.

But you would have to use something other then a Mac to know that... Sceriously, the MacBook touch pad is a synaptics touch pad jest like all the other mid to upper end laptops have.

I can't stand the way it handles secondary clicking. However, I will say that my MacBook has the best trackpad and clicking system on earth, even though it only has one visible button :) Even though I love apple products generally, the mighty mouse truly sucks (at least at a $70 price point).

I did hold my breath one brief moment though :) Ya know, these fanboys... I was so happy to read on and find that ‘awesomeness’ was indeed in the ironic sense of the word.
