In my experience, trackpads that feel weird and unresponsive in Windows can be fine when running Linux. I think it's the OS and the drivers as much as the hardware. The Yoga I'm typing this on (with Linux) has the best trackpad I've ever used. (Though I'm probably not a useful counterpoint for you, because I think Apple laptops have rather iffy ergonomics. Cold hard wrist rests, too slippery to hold when closed, sharp edges, annoyingly grippy trackpads)
