Magic Trackpad
The Magic Trackpad is a multi-touch trackpad produced by Apple Inc. Announced on July 27, 2010, it was 80% larger than the trackpad found on the then-current MacBook family of laptops.  

A new version called the Magic Trackpad 2 came out on October 13, 2015.

Description
The Magic Trackpad is made of glass and aluminum in the same style as Apple's Wireless Keyboard and can sit flush to it. The entire trackpad can be used as a button, pressing down on the trackpad puts pressure on two circular feet below to register a click. The trackpad connects via Bluetooth and is powered by two AA batteries.

Release and reception
Initial reviews of the trackpad lauded its design but not its price.

Scott Stein of CNET wrote: "Apple's $69 Bluetooth device is minimalist and not particularly cheap"; "We're not sure we'd ditch our mouse and use the Magic Trackpad, but it's a compact solution for the touch-addicted." 

Macworld also praised the trackpad's design similarity with the Apple Wireless Keyboard: "The Magic Trackpad is the same height and angle of inclination as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, making them a good fit, in terms of size and style."

 Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista in Apple's Boot Camp. 
 Ubuntu Linux can be configured to support most of the MacOS multitouch gestures that Mac OS has.
