We got a few Mac Mini's in this week (oct 12 versions) very good may I add, cracking machine for £400 (ex vat) i may add.

We opted for the Trackpad and keyboard from apple, as one is going to be used as a demo machine, found a nice little frame that holds the keyboard and trackpad together! very nice! and first time ive properly used the trackpad and its very good! if anyone is ever wondering about getting the track pad over a mouse then id say go for it

Frame makes it look very cheap some how.

Can get an invisible clip that holds the two together from the underside.

I dont think it does, fits in perfectly with the style of the keys, and lets you turn them on and off without removing them from the frame.

Yes, but I changed the settings from click to tap as its much easier to use it as a tap

Apple track pad is good but nowhere near as good as a mouse.

Agreed. On laptops the Mac trackpad is VERY good but for a desktop I would always take a mouse over it.

Those track pads, if you press down with two fingers, is it like a right click? (MacBook Pro is like this which is a nice feature when using bootcamp).
