Only bad thing - no right click. 2 fingers on trackpad then a click is weird haha

you can go on system preferences and change it so you have a right click ;)

I thought the new ones have two buttons cleverly disguised as one big button. If you click on the right, it's a right click and if you click on the left side of the button, it's a left click?

the new aluminum macbooks come with it pre-set as one big button and let you right click when holding cmd and then clicking on the trackpad. you can change it so it allows you to left and right click on the trackpad without pressing cmd with system preferences.

set your trackpad settings like this and you will have the normal left and right click.

Did Microsoft or some other company copyright/trademark a second button? It seems a little bit difficult to do that all the time, especially the two finger tapping...

not that i know off, i think apple just did the one button trackpad to make it look more clean and stylish looking. its solely based on the design aspect of the macbook i think.

oh my bad i thought you were on the aluminum one, i dont think you can add a right click on the white macbooks without dismantling the laptop and fiddling with the hardware. sorry.

I honestly think using two finger click is really easy and convenient. On my Mac i use left and right click however.

I have a White MacBook too however I find the right-clicking with two fingers really easy and you get used to it so quickly :)

Just have the two buttons disguised as one button. Loads of companies do that, they hide 4 button functions in one case to make it look cleaner.

I got my white macbook about 3 weeks ago. I will NEVER go back to windows now. I've got used to the right click although I use a mouse quite a lot :)
