Good god that sounds like a nightmare. Its already a pain to use touch-pads on some laptop models where if you rest your wrist on it it will detect it wrong.

And to make matters even worse imagine installing drivers for an os not supported by the manufacturer.

That is a nightmare. I already have a hard enough time typing on the MacBook Pro's keyboard. I use an external mechanical most of the time except when I am away from my desk. I just about get all my real work done at my desk though.

To switch topics to another new "feature", this was my first thought about the 2x-larger touchpad on the new 15" mbp.

Yeah I'm not saying it's a good thing, but considering how Apple keeps trying to make the keyboard thinner and thinner this seems like the logical conclusion.
