Q: Magic Trackpad

Some people prefer Trackpads, some prefer mice, some use both.

The Magic Mouse 2 and Trackpad 2 are rechargeable. The originals aren't.

If you've ever used a laptop/netbook/notebook/chromebook you must have used a trackpad. I'm really, really not going to try and describe the finger actions.

The only difference is what you prefer. No one can tell you what you prefer.

Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac - Apple Support

You're welcome and yes, it is like a laptop that supports gestures.

I use the magic trackpad with my iMac along with a bluetooth/usb razer mouse and I don't use the mac keyboard I use a microsoft natural wireless keyboard which also have a mouse so I have 2 mice and 1 magic trackpad mostly use the mouse...

I have several Apple Wireless Keyboards along with a Magic Trackpad and several Magic Mice. Primarily i use the wired Apple Keyboard and Apple Mouse.

I also have the keyboard for my iPad Pro.

I have both the trackpad and mouse connected. I normally prefer the trackpad, but sometimes will use the mouse, particularly for highlighting text.
