> I never accidentally press it with my palm or have any other issues with it.

There seem to be two kinds of typists: ones that rest their palms, and ones that hover their palms. If you hover, you will never encounter these issues. I rest my palms to the degree that any touchpad that is not recessed gets unintentional input. I also believe, based on personal experience, that the ergonomics of a pointing device are in general inversely proportional to the amount of hand/arm movement, so larger touchpads are going to be less ergonomic than smaller ones (a corollary is that touchpad gestures will give you RSI). Having three buttons for a pointing device is essential. Macbooks fail on all counts on these criteria. The closest to ideal touchpads that I have encountered are on the T4x/T6x series Thinkpads - 2" large and deeply recessed. Unfortunately they only have two buttons.

I rest my palms. No issues.

Smaller touchpads have always been more uncomfortable and harder to use for me.
