FINALLY, the mouse has evolved for the desktop user and I for one will be awaiting one of these on the 19th (Launch day).

Will be nice when kicking back in the chair to

Pass. For a laptop on a smaller display a touchpad is fine, but I wouldn't want one for a desktop. Would be fairly terrible for gaming too.

I've been waiting for this since I got the Win8 RTM last month.

I'm currently using Windows 8 on my XPS-15z laptop (with a multitouch trackpad), and it's currently the only platform I'd consider running Windows 8 on (without a start menu replacement), as without the gestures provided by the Trackpad (1, 2 and 3 finger gestures), Windows 8 would be incredibly annoying to use IMO. Can't see how the screen size has anything to do with the use of a trackpad. My laptop is 1080p (sure, it's 15.6", but that has nothing to do with the calibration and distance).

I plan to have a T650 for day to day OS browsing, work, and menial tasks, then a separate mouse for when I fancy gaming.

This is relevant to my interests

Love the look of the T650

Magic Trackpad anyone?

paradigm · 9 Nov 2012 at 14:52

Except better, and works with Windows 8 gestures, rather than apple only (bar scrolling).

Yeah, appreciate it has Windows specific features. OP just sounded like this was the first time a device like this had ever been seen:

What touch support does Lion have? I have never used Lion by the way. My understanding was that it was primitive at best from the last time I looked up the "Magic" Trackpad.

Yep been looking at one of these as well, think I will definitely be buying one.

anything I don't mind · 9 Nov 2012 at 17:24

would like to see a power user doing advanced work with one of these could be interesting to see if it is more effective. One thing playing with blocks another working in photoshop or word document.

Except it hasn't, because it's a trackpad and not a mouse.
