    I personally like the new trackpad, but the old one isn't too bad. I like the one button feel, and plus the gestures. What do you think?

    I like the new one, but don't hate the old one. But I do have a preference for the new one.

    The new one definitely looks cooler and I like the gestures. I've never really liked using touchpads though.

    The new one sometimes got sticky on me. I had to rub my finger against my pants to make it extra dry. I never had this problem with the old one.

    When the new one was smooth I prefered it though.
