I’ve noticed that new MacBooks seem to have sluggish trackpads. Why? I don’t know, but some believe it has something to do with the size of your fingers!
I got a new MacBook two weeks ago and have noticed that my trackpad behaves with a certain delay. This happens especially when I use two fingers to scroll up or down. It is a bit annoying to have that delay.
I thought I was the only one with that problem until I checked the Apple’s discussion website. Many people there who have purchased new macbooks (with Leopard) are having the same problem. One person even mentioned that he/she has a friend with ‘bigger fingers’ and that friend had no problem with the trackpad. But when using only the fingertips (a smaller ‘finger area’), it wouldn’t work properly!
I’ve tried the same technique on my macbook, that is, using a ‘bigger area’ of my fingers while scrolling up and down and it seemed to work pretty well.
Are the new MacBooks biased towards bigger fingers? If so I hope there is a new firmware to fix that soon! In the meantime, I’ll have to keep using some ‘bigger’ fingers… or put on a few pounds 🙂
