Reply to comment by sanjsrik in Apple Reportedly Working on Touchscreen Macs, Including MacBook Pro by Avieshek

And yet not a single Windows manufacturer has perfected a trackpad. You need touchscreen when your trackpad /mouse sucks. But touch screen means moving your hands away from the keyboard. I use both Macs and a Surface Book and much prefer the Mac.

I have Thinkpad, Dell, and Mac laptops. Nothing compares to the Mac trackpad.

My 2005 HP Pavillion would disagree with that. It had a pretty phenomenal track pad. It wasn't until the 20teens that I realized I could turn on further functionality on it.

Apples trackpad was built with a good basis and better touch tool really tapped into its full potential.

You probably used the same synaptics trackpad as everybody else back then. You could turn on some other stuff, but there’s no comparison to what apple did in 2008 when they came out with the unibody glass trackpad. It’s still king to this day.
