I have never had issues with accidentally brushing the trackpad because the palm detection is great. A large trackpad is a selling feature of the laptop.
- mr-ron 8y agoI get that its a selling point, but is a large trackbar better? Are you really using the whole pad for your actions? Legitimately I just tested moving around the screen. I am not using more than 3in x 2in at a time.
- eridius 8y agoGiven how good palm detection is, does it matter? A large trackpad means more room for 4-finger gestures and less accidental triggering of the two-finger swipe-from-right-edge gesture.
- CountSessine 8y agoI’ve had problems with the palm detection while typing. It’s great but it’s not perfect. I’d just rather have a trackpad like the previous gen. I wish they still sold it.
- mehrdada 8y agoThere's a used market you know.
- twiceaday 8y agoTrackpad cursor is not 1:1 it moves farther the faster you move your finger. On default speed setting slowly moving the cursor from bottom left to top right of the screen uses up nearly the entire trackpad. In any case the point is that a big pad is not a downside because of detection, so for me it makes sense that it would be as big as there is enough space for.
- bluedino 8y agoDon't forget about swiping and other gestures. Moving back to a 2015 or earlier MacBook Pro, the trackpad actually feels 'small'
- happytoexplain 8y agoAnecdotally, I get accidental input from my palm at least once for every full day of work.
