Anyone with a MacBook or MacBook Pro can scroll by using two fingers on the trackpad. I haven't seen this implemented on a PC laptop under any version of Windows.
Is it possible, and if not, how come?
If it is, someone write the driver!
P.S. Yes, I know about scrolling with the edge of the trackpad.
why not? In 2008 I bought a refurbished HP 6785SE and it has no multitouch but then after updating Synaptics it can recognize multiple fingers at once. AFAIK all capacitive touchpads have multitouch ability. It's just not supported in firmware. Sometimes you just need to update the firmware/driver and it'll work – phuclv – 2017-05-24T02:39:45.830
This is only in newer MacBooks. My old MBP (a G4) doesn't support any of those. Newer macbooks (unibodies) already support four fingers. It's a hardware issue, not just software. – Uri – 2009-02-15T02:58:12.193
