Setting it up for a Windows PC is a hassle (and it will only offer limited gestures)
Uncomfortable to use as a mouse replacement for long periods
Not as precise or fast as a mouse. Some may not approve of the ergonomics. You'll need to buy Snow Leopard to use it on Windows

Apple's Magic Trackpad really isn't magical, but for those who want or need the full range of OS X gestures on their desktop computer it does a fine job. We don't think it will completely replace the mouse...

Abstract: Manufacturer's SiteApple's Magic Trackpad brings the wonderful glass trackpad that MacBook Pro users have been enjoying to desktop Mac users. Now laptop users can be envious of desktop users, because along the way, the tracking surface was magically enlar...
Does an invisible job of turning the keyboard and trackpad into a single unit; lets you use the trackpad on the left or the right; lets you not use the Magic Connector at all if the need arises
I would like it to ship with spare magnets so that I could get and use a new trackpad or keyboard if need be
Bigger is actually much better with trackpads. Provides very usable touch controls for Mac OS. Typical sleek, beautiful Apple design.
Dragging and dropping never works as well as it does with a mouse. Can't truly customize gestures. A tad overpriced.
Apple’s new pointer is hardly the first external touch-based trackpad, and while it won’t convert legions of mouse users, it’s cleverly integrated with Mac OS and delivers a largely excellent, usable experience.Magic Trackpad...
The Magic Trackpad isn’t cheap, and so one wouldn’t want to buy it on a whim, expecting to immediately make Mac life wondrous. Despite the Fast Tracking mode, I still don’t get the immediate and fine tracking and pointer control that I can get with a ...
