I've yet to use a better trackpad. The MBP trackpad is good but physically clicking with it is crummy.

I bought my mom a dell xps 13 and the trackpad is maybe 80% compared to the macbook. it's really smooth and precise and its made of different material the palm rest is made out of

I have both a Macbook and the Surface Pro 4, the trackpads on these are almost identical in terms of response time and accuracy.
Shit like dictionary lookup and expose are still missing, but you don't need those crutch features on a real OS like Windows anyway.
Also direct touch + pen digitizer >>>>> touchpad any day of the week.

I'm not gonna argue that it's the best trackpad, but trackpads in general are terrible, functionally and ergonomically.

Plebs everywhere. Although I can't fault anyone for avoiding the horrendous keyboards present on those devices.

The Force Touch on the new ones are god-tier, the entire area of the trackpad takes the same amount of pressure to click.

>>53094912
I never understood the stylus and touchscreen meme unless you're a drawfag, Physically lifting up your arm to touch a screen strains it over time, touchpads are way better

>>53095217
Sounds nice. I haven't used the very latest ones. Maybe I'll stop into a computer store and give it a whirl

Dell Vostro 3300's trackpad.

The trackpad on my 2013 macbook air is the only trackpad I have even found even slightly usable. It's still a trackpad so it still sucks but it's MILES better than anything I've had or even seen on a PC laptop.

There are many useful applications for a stylus, I enjoy using one for music production. Anything where you have to use mainly your mouse and have the display crammed up with shit is more comfy with a stylus.

>>53095023
I hate you and you entire race. The only good the magic trackpad is to force people into wanting to learn keyboard shortcuts.

Yes, MacBook trackpads are fucking amazing, but it's still not worth the cuckery you accept when buying into Apple.

HP's Elitebooks use a glass based trackpad.
I have one myself and it's the best I've used so far.

No it's not you tard. I'm not sure what the other guy does. But a trackpad is a lot better for photo/video editing. A lot more precise. It makes no difference in how many or how often you use keyboard shortcuts.

>>53094382
Cant name a better one but I find one just as good. The Chromebook pixel trackpad.

I only have a cheap Chromebook with a plastic trackpad but it's nicer to use than my more expensive Windows laptop. The integrated gestures with the chrome browser are one of my favorite things about chrome OS.

Honorable mention possibly goes to Dell. I just ordered their Chromebook 13 after reading reviews that said the Toshiba had a flimsy lid (which made me think back to my C720 with a broken display). The icing on the cake is the glass trackpad. I've heard it's almost as good as a Mac's.
