It's an interesting idea. I, for one, wouldn't have bought a Magic Trackpad if it weren't for the large size. I find it easier to navigate and use gestures that way. The thing I don't know is how large the trackpads are on the Mac laptops, as I've never owned one. But if it's a matter of the large size, it would definitely be a serious consideration for me. On the other hand, I'm quite comfortable using my IPod's small screen. This might be something to try extensively before you buy.
