Are you kidding, the trackpad is the main reason I wouldn't want a different device, and the palm rejection is really good too.

- Tsiklon 7y agoI think the parent commenter is referring to the enlarged trackpads present on all thunderbolt 3 MacBooks, as compared with the smaller trackpad on the previous models.
- sascha_sl 7y agoYes, I have a 2018 MBP. I also used to run a T420. I still prefer the MacBook.
- d3ckard 7y agoLike parent, I really like new big trackpad. I really wish people would accept both this and butterfly keyboard discussions as preferences, not “objectively better choices”.
- sascha_sl 7y agoTo be fair, the butterfly keyboard failure rate makes it objectively bad. Independent from how it feels to type on it. The frequency as which i need to spray the thing with canned air is getting quite ridiculous.
- jayd16 7y agoWhats the appeal of the larger trackpad? You can turn down the sensitivity?
- sascha_sl 7y agoSame reason you'd want a bigger mouse pad with turned down sensitivity, it's more precise and you have more space. Also having no mechanical click is a huge plus. It still feels like you do, but it's even all across it.
- Fnoord 7y agoThe Apple Magic Touchpad 2 and the 2015 MBPs have the smaller touchpads without force feedback but without the mechanical clicks (they come out of the speakers). I got mine set to silent. This is in contrast to the 2014 and before versions. By the way, Louis Rossmann considers the 2014 MBPs to be best bang of the buck because they have the least amount of hardware flaws, and are relatively serviceable and provide decent performance.
- philliphaydon 7y agoAfter getting a ThinkPad. I could never go any other laptop... the track pad may not be as good but I rarely ever use it. Compared to the keyboard which I use 99% of the time.
