I don't understand why, after all these years, literally no other manufacturer has been able to nail the trackpad like Apple. The first few "clickpads" I used on laptops trying to imitate Apple were basically unusable, but even on recent models I've played with in stores, they're always just....not quite right to horrible.


I believe the trackpad of my asus 1000he notebook is pinnacle of non-mac trackpads.

Supported equally on linux and windows. Soft to the fingers, responsive and precise. Two-fingers scrolling, wipe (kind), three-fingers scrolling, etc.

Only missing thing is pinch-to-zoom.


The trackpad on my Samsung np770z5e is great. Just install a good SSD on it and you have a great laptop (battery life is also very good).

Edit: it also supports three fingers prev/next commands
