I personally found Force Touch clicks to feel almost as natural as those of a traditional touchpad, and the trackpad's hard-press commands were easy to get used to. Overall, the Trackpad 2's haptic feedback is impressively satisfying ─ it's hard to believe there's not an actual click button beneath. For example, you can Force Touch a highlighted word to look up its dictionary meaning, or press firmly on a website link to preview that page. Just like the trackpads found on the latest MacBooks, the pressure-sensitive Magic Trackpad 2 uses haptic feedback to simulate the sensation of clicking, and allows you to perform special functions when pressing extra-hard. If you prefer a bigger canvas for sliding and clicking, you can add in Apple's $69 Magic Trackpad 2, which brings Force Touch to the iMac for the first time. The mouse's touch-panel design is highly intuitive, allowing me to scroll through Web pages by simply sliding my finger up and down its surface or switch apps by swiping two fingers left or right The iMac also includes the new Magic Mouse 2, which retains its predecessor's elegant one-button construction while adding a rechargeable battery and shedding a few ounces. Sporting a 1-millimeter travel and an actuation (required force) of 58 grams, the keyboard allowed me to comfortably breeze through the Key Hero typing test at 82 words per minute with 98 percent accuracy, besting my 75 wpm norm in the process. The Magic Keyboard is meant to offer 33 percent more key stability, and I definitely noticed the extra snappiness. Apple's wireless keyboard can now be charged via Lightning port, ditching the bulky, roughly 0.75-inch battery compartment of the older model in favor of an extra-sleek 0.43-inch design. The 5K iMac ships with Apple's latest input accessories, including the brand-new Magic Keyboard. I noticed that some of the high-frequency noises ─ such as guitars and synths ─ sounded the slightest bit distorted at max volume, but that did little to distract from the speakers' overall quality. ![]() When cranking Fall Out Boy's "Irresistible," the iMac filled the room with satisfying bass and soaring vocals. The iMac's speakers filled the room with satisfying bass and soaring vocals. ![]() The iMac's stereo speakers are fairly hidden, but they sure pack a punch. As with any Mac, you can add a handful of funny effects and colorful filters to your photos via the Photo Booth app. The iMac's 720p FaceTime camera performed as well as I expected, capturing my strands of facial hair and birthmarks in fairly high detail. There are also two Thunderbolt 2 ports, which are ideal for connecting to high-speed peripherals (such as large hard drives) and high-resolution external displays. In addition, the application can also apply LUTs in order to make color correction adjustments.(Image credit: Jeremy Lips / Tom's Guide) Powerful video conversion utility developed with professional users in mindĮditReady enables you to quickly transcode QuickTime or MXF videos to file formats that can be edited at professional level. ![]() The best part is that EditReady can perform multiple tasks at the same time, which greatly reduces the time you spend converting the videos.
