I can't speak for this new generation my work laptop is 6th generation XPS 13 running Ubuntu and the trackpad is absolutely terrible. Without an external mouse using the laptop is infuriating. There are random clicks while typing. Clicking small targets can be difficult because sometimes the cursor will decide to move 50px further than you expect Attempting to move the cursor diagonally result in erratic stepping where the cursor moves horizontally, then vertically, then horizontally, etc. Sometimes the cursor randomly jumps half way across the screen. Clicks often register as drags. And so on. I'm not alone, everyone in office has either switched to a Macbook or disabled the trackpad entirely.
