- bicubic 10y agoEven Microsoft's own flagship Surface Book has a touch pad which is abysmal compared to what MBP offered on it's debut. I constantly experience issues ranging from jerky movements to completely failing to scroll until rebooted on my Surface Book. It's mind blowing that this still happens in 2016.
- chokolad 10y agoYou probably have a faulty device. Swing by Microsoft store if you have one nearby and show them those issues. I have no problems with mine.
- 0xcoffee 10y agoActually I agree with him. The touchpads on the xps and MacBook are similar in optimal conditions, but the XPS one seems way more sensitive to sweat/oils from the hand and then stops working until it is cleaned. I have hyperhydrosis so my hands sweat alot, never caused an issue on my MacBook, but the XPS doesn't handle it as well. On the software side, the MacBook can also handle finger movements quickly followed by a tap much better, while on the XPS if you do really quick movements followed by a tap the cursor will jump back a little. (Annoyingly enough to accidentally hit the close tab button when trying to switch tabs). I reported this to dell and they said the issue lies in the MS driver.
- radicalbyte 10y agoThe 2016 XPS touchpad is horrible.
- runnr_az 10y agoYeah... my XPS 13 Developer Edition trackpad is basically unusable.
- adventist 10y agoSurface Pro 4 Touchpad is awesome for me!
- namlem 10y agoI disagree. It's OK, and better than most, but it still has lots of problems.
- rbanffy 10y agoThe hardware means very little when the software support isn't there. I use track pads on all my Macs because of the wonderful gesture support.
