It doesn't seem to respond to tapping, is that right? Gotta click it? And there's no buttons, so no easy way to right or middle click (middle click being great for tab management or entering scroll mode). What do you like about it so much? Lenovo is shit and I despise them. But they are the only ones making ThinkPads so sorta no choice there. User replaceable parts are great. X250 shipped when 16GB SODIMMs weren't common. Now that they are, it was a simple 5 minute upgrade.

Tap to click is not turned on by default in OS X, but is possible through System Preferences - as is a tap with two fingers to get a right click.

I like that you have to press/click it.. no accidental clicks while typing... as to middle click, click with three fingers on the pad, as two acts as a right click.. once you get used to it, it's very intuative, dedicated click regions (like many pc pads are adopting) are actually really annoying to me after using it, as is dedicated buttons imho. I have not love for apple, but really do like the touchpad interface they have more than any other. There are some alternatives to Lenovo, I happen to appreciate some of the Acer and Asus products available. I just like the macbook pro as a whole much more... Though, to be honest I don't see myself having to have a new laptop for some time, and even then likely won't buy Apple because their software has not been as good lately, I'm not tied to it, and would just assume use Ubuntu if there were a good hardware option (good by my admittedly arbitrary standards). The thing I like the least about macs is really my muscle memory is heavily tied to the Model-M style keyboards (including the mechanical feel). I have a Unicomp for my work macbook at work, that I flipped the ctrl/option/cmd buttons around, only in terminal windows, it's referested there and I can't enable software that could correct/reverse it only for iterm...
