- DrScientist 6y agoYep, though sadly, in my view, the current line up of Macbooks trackpads aren't as good as the 2008 era Macbooks either....
- wishysgb 6y agoI disagree, my razer blade 15 has been amazing.
- pjmlp 6y agoI have both platforms at the office for years, still haven't discovered what is so magic about the trackpad.
- moogleii 6y agoEdge to edge uniformity, physical feel, virtual feel of the scroll and motion, gestures. Other than that, sure, same.
- gxx 6y agoThe biggest difference between Macbook trackpads vs the best for Windows is the super low hysteresis of pointer motion vs finger motion. I recently bought and returned a Microsoft Surface Book with "precision touchpad". The main reason for returing it was that pointer control feels sluggish compared to the Macbook and its pointer speed was too slow even at its fastest. The best Dell touchpads are no better and Lenovo trackpads are even worse. I understand that this may be because PC touchpad hardware reports jitter, sometimes higher than it really is, and this causes the Precision Touchpad software to increase the hysteresis. Macbook touchpads have low jitter and the driver is tuned to benefit from it. If anyone Microsoft with input into the Precision Touchpad reads this, why don't you fix it or work with your licensees to fix it?
