Expert review by : Jim Fisher (pcmag.com)
The Magic Trackpad 2 is larger than its predecessor, and adds a rechargeable internal battery and Force Click, but it's nearly twice the price.
Expert review by : Susie Ochs (macworld.com)
The Magic Trackpad 2 is shockingly large and blindingly white. It looks kind of a like a futuristic thing you'd find in a high-tech kitchen, like a smart scale or a wireless charging station or a heating pad that keeps your coffee at the perfect...
Huge area for clicking ; Silent clicking option, among other customizations, in System Preferences > Trackpad
Not Cheeto-friendly (Pro tip: Pirate Booty has lighter colored cheese powder)
If you’re buying a new iMac, I would definitely choose the Magic Trackpad 2 over the Magic Mouse 2. But if you’ve got a Mac without a Force Touch trackpad, you might consider waiting until Force Touch becomes more ubiquitous and essential than it is...
Expert review by : Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)
Force Touch is the new pressure-sensitive tech from Apple that promises to change the way we interact with our Macs by offering shallow and deep "layers" of interaction on the trackpad. A separate trackpad won't suit all users, but if it's how you like...
Bigger surface area, easy to setup, long battery life, comes with Lightning cable in the box for charging
If you aren't using Force Click the extra size isn't hugely noticeable over the previous model
A separate trackpad won't suit all users, but if it's how you like to work then the Magic Trackpad 2 adds plenty of new features above and beyond the original model.
Expert review by : David Price (macworld.co.uk)
Apple's updated Magic Trackpad, released alongside the new generation of iMacs, is bigger, whiter and equipped with Force Touch pressure-sensitive technology. Here's our hands-on review of the Magic Trackpad 2
Brings Force Touch to older Macs ; Some Force Touch features are convenient and applications will add features in future
Expensive ; Force Touch not yet ubiquitous enough to be genuinely useful
To dredge up a review cliche, Force Touch is a nice-to-have rather than a must-have at this point - as more and more applications add Force Touch features, it's likely to become ubiquitous, and genuinely useful, but at the moment it's just a pleasant...
Consumer review (very.co.uk)
I got this about a week ago. The packageing was great, very well protected and very smart packageing. As I am a VA (virtual assistant) I use this all day every day and its so much better than any other keyboard I have ever used.
Consumer review (very.co.uk)
Being a new user to Apple products and not liking a trackpad on a laptop I was vary about buying this. Yes it is expensive but you get what you pay for. This has got to be one of my best buys and I love it. Very easy to use and, in my opinion, a lot...

I love this product. Thank you for the excellent item and excellent service.
Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
Very easy to use. Lots of options to suit how you want it to work. Much easier / relaxing to use than a mouse when reading lots of text. Great for viewing photos it's like having iPhone capabilities on the desktop. Good battery life.
Like most Mac stuff it is a bit on the pricey side.
Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
Good performance, responsive, easy to use and setup. Battery life is ok. I charge it every couple of weeks.
Cost: As with anything Apple you pay over the odds.
Consumer review (very.co.uk)
Much better than a mouse, brilliant deeper press feature. Sturdy design, very happy.
