> I think the standard for laptops was just really, really low.

As someone who used windows laptops, I was amazed when I saw someone sitting next to me on a public transit subway on her MacBook Pro editing images on photoshop with just her trackpad. The standard for windows laptops used to be that low (about ten or twelve years ago?) that seeing a MacBook trackpad just woke someone is a part of my permanent memory.

I don't understand the hype around Apple trackpads. 15 years ago, sure, there was a huge gulf of difference, but today? The only difference that I can see or fee, at least between lenovo or dell and apple, is that the mac trackpad is physically larger.
