Set two fingers on the trackpad and press the trackpad key to make a secondary click.įurther an infrared remote maintenance " Apple Remote" is added to the MacBook, with which FrontRow can be attended. However first this must be adjusted in the system settings in the menu "keyboard & mouse" - "trackpad" - ". Tip: In order to be able to accomplish a right mouse-click fast, it is possible to keep 2 fingers on the touchpad and press the mouse key. The scrolling function of the touchpad works well and is a useful feature (regrettably not available in Windows).
The single touchpad key juts a little bit out of the chassis and can be used without problems. The trackpad with widescreen format can be handled pleasantly and reacts precisely and sensitive to inputs. Therefore the connection of an external USB keyboard is recommended. Unfortunately yet many keys do not function in Windows (see chapter Bootcamp). An unequal distance between keys, which was noticed by a forum user, exists also with this keyboard, but it does not prevent working with this great keyboard. The typing is quiet and soft, the pressure point clearly perceptible.

So the MacBook Pro draws even with the Windows competitors according preformance. The video card is the same fast X1600, however in the MacBook Pro 17"clearly faster clocked. Only the DVD drive assembly, owing to the larger design is a faster double-layer burner and there exists an additional Firewire 800 connection. The interior life is nearly identical compared to the 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition our test sample had (in contrast to tested 15 "MacBook Pro) very easy-moving display hinges. Only a somewhat wobbly display cover (in closed condition) and not equal key distances can be criticized. The workmanship is protruding like already with the 15" MacBook Pro. In addition the PC Card-slot was replaced by a new Express-Card/34 module. Modem and S-video connections miss at the new model. Compared to that 17 inch Powerbook (predecessor) iSight camera in the display cover and the infrared-receiver for the remote maintenance are new.
