Quads - I know some of you have Macbooks.
I'm tempted by the Macbook Pro. How do you find the mouse/trackpad with quad hands and fingers?

I think it's easier to use than any other mouse. You can use any part of your hand that you can touch it with. You can do mouse gestures with your knuckles (for 2 and 3 finger scrolling etc.) but for things like rotating things sometimes it's easier to use two hands instead of one although it is possible using your knuckles.

Love it! It takes a little getting used to, but I think you'll like it. The trackpad/button (the pad is the button as well) is nice and big, too. I have the 15" MacBook Pro, btw.
And what WildKat said. :)

I just picked up a 13.3 MBP for grad school. Trackpad works fine, smoother than many others. That said, I bought a bluetooth laser mouse as well.
I find [2-button] mice more efficient [for me] than trackpads.

Hi. I just use the trackpad with my thumb!

Bought one today. 13" MacBook Pro.
It may be love.
Work paid for my new iPhone.
RR -You have good taste! Don't forget to do your Apple updates.
Good luck.

I use one knuckle with the trackpad and my palm to click. I've had no problems other than spilling coffee on the keyboard.
RR- Enjoy!
