If it's similar to Surface Book's one (and I suspect it is) - then it comes very close to Macbooks. I was spoiled by MacBook Pro's touchpad and felt that even "premium" Windows laptops have shitty ones but Surface Book touchpad is very good. It has slightly smaller amount of gestures, but the basics are there.
- temp246810 9y agoThis is not true - have to disagree. The touchpad on a mac is not mechanical - you get a uniform "click" no matter where you press. For PC laptops, the touchpads are still mechanical and work almost as if on a hinge. The hinge is at the top of the pad so clicking near there sometimes is impossible.
- chokolad 9y agoare you talking about Surface Book's touchpad specifically or PC touchpads in general ? Also, when did touchpad on the mac stopped being mechanical? My experience is with pre retina MacBook Pro.
- masivemunkey 9y agoThey stopped being mechanical in the Early 2015 models, now they use force touch, which mimics a click using vibration. It allows you to click anywhere on the touchpad with feedback (it feels like an actual click), which is pretty awesome, but you get used to it quick and it makes it hard to switch back and forth between a regular touchpad and a force touchpad. You should go to an apple store and check it out.
