Isn't that the definition of apple?

And yet not a single Windows manufacturer has perfected a trackpad. You need touchscreen when your trackpad /mouse sucks. But touch screen means moving your hands away from the keyboard. I use both Macs and a Surface Book and much prefer the Mac.

I have Thinkpad, Dell, and Mac laptops. Nothing compares to the Mac trackpad.

My 2005 HP Pavillion would disagree with that. It had a pretty phenomenal track pad. It wasn't until the 20teens that I realized I could turn on further functionality on it.

Apples trackpad was built with a good basis and better touch tool really tapped into its full potential.

You probably used the same synaptics trackpad as everybody else back then. You could turn on some other stuff, but there’s no comparison to what apple did in 2008 when they came out with the unibody glass trackpad. It’s still king to this day.

Not if you talk to an Apple fan

I have never seen an apple fan who denied that apple is usally late to adopt stuff. In fact, their usual argument is “Apple lets everyone else beta test it and then release a superior product.

Windows fans, on the other hand, are usually like “hey apple the technology you are implementing was already implemented by this *points to random piece of crap from 1995! So suck on that”
