I could never make touchpads work for me. The only laptops I could tolerate were Lenovo's because of the touchpoint thing. My first MacBook was the first time I had a touchpad I could not only use but actively liked.

But actually my Lenovo with Linux touchpad and Chromebooks are all fine for me today. Though my MacBooks and external Apple touchpad on my desktop are still the best. The only touchpad that still annoys me to the point where I need to use a mouse is a 17" Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 10.
