So if I'm right, then the most ideal way to navigate and click is to do both with the same finger, which I think takes abit of getting used to, but will prove extremely convenient in the future as one gets familiar with it.Four-finger swipe Expose is a godsend btw.

However, i still didn't like the design of the new macbook! i think the black and the slivery-white surface dont really go unlike the full black macbook..and thank you once again for sharing!

If you think about it, you can still do the drag gesture the old way.. using your index finger to control the mouse, and thumb to press the button. Just that NOW, your thumb doesn't have to be placed on the button, but can be anywhere on the touchpad.. This means it's gonna be much easier for people with smaller hands.. @DK Not really.
