I really need to sit down with a Mac for a while and figure out why the touchpad is really good. I've got two laptops I use daily right now a Lenovo T450 and a XPS 13. It's really apparent to me the lower 'resolution' of the Lenovo's touch pad. But with the Dell, I'm not sure how much more it can be improved. Maybe because I don't use any gestures?

Maybe. I use gestures on touchpad all the time. When I tried to use Chromebook with Xubuntu, it didn't worked (even if Chromebook is actually Linux powered), at least two years ago. It's very addictive. I will try that with XPS 13, looks promising.

A big part of it might be the latency. I'm on an Asus ultrabook (UX430) with a pretty wide, smooth clickable touchpad, but I still don't use it much because it has a noticeable latency that makes it very frustrating to use compared to that of a Macbook. I've noticed the same problem on many laptops (Lenovo ideapad for instance, while my old Thinkpad x220's trackpad was responsive and so more usable despite being absolutely tiny).
