Microsoft Precision trackpads get close on the software side, it actually feels like it responds a bit faster. Too bad there's a bug in the driver that makes the cursor jump a few centimeters on every dozen or so clicks (Confirmed on Mi Notebook Air, Dell 5285, XPS 15 7590, 2015 15" Macbook with 3rd party driver), making it essentially unusable.
Some manufacturers (Xiaomi) have glass surfaces that get pretty close to the feeling of Macbook ones.
... but nobody has force touch and that makes all the difference. Ununiform response, no configurability and nothing that gets remotely close to the "low" setting, besides maybe a modded XPS 15 (some tape below the switch).
Macbooks are literally the only devices I've used on which you can comfortably drag things on the touchpad for the above mentioned reasons.
Edit: That's just the basic hardware side, of course. Apple also has fairly well thought out gestures (zoom, back with two fingers to the right) and apps supporting them, including a direct response to the finger and overscroll bounce (except in Electron apps, shame on them).
