A laptop that doesn't have great trackpad interface is a non-starter. Really looking forward to trying out the Microsoft laptop in person. But still using my 2010 macbook pro and smooth-as-glass scrolling is a minimum bar.
"The other half of the typical notebook interaction is done with the trackpad, and here Microsoft has delivered one of the best trackpads on any Windows PC."
"With that one quirk aside, anyone who uses a Surface Book is likely going to be very happy with the trackpad experience."
"The surface is glass, which makes it very smooth and easy to glide your finger over."
The scrolling in Chrome is a major concern for me though. After using Apple trackpads it is downright painful to use Windows hardware and scrolling. Microsoft needs to nail these software issues in order to compete, because in terms of hardware, they're vastly superior to Apple right now. I hope they don't squander that advantage.
Scrolling between browsers always seems like an issue for me, even with a mouse. I'll configure Firefox, and then Chrome/IE/Safari will be too fast or not fast enough.
