man adjusting those apple trackpads is an epic PITA. Let me tell you unless you know exactly whet you are doing it will take at least 5 tries to get it right.
Can you explain what you mean?
Don't even get me started on the MBPr 13" trackpad.
I have a retina MBP 13", and before that I had a non-retina MBP 13", and I think the trackpads on both are basically as good or better than any other trackpads I’ve ever used.
And apples trackpads on their ibook / powerbook G4 were not good.
I used a 12" powerbook G4 for 5 years, and I thought the trackpad was great. Better than any non-Mac laptop I tried in ~1990–2010. Perhaps you can explain what you think was “not good” about it?
If only it didn't have that one stupid button in the middle causing the whole thing to bend crazily (against the extremely dangerous battery) if you press hard enough to click at either of the lower corners... It may be easy to use but it is NOT a good design,
You need to elaborate here. I’ve never even heard of anyone having an issue pressing their trackpad the wrong way, and I know dozens/hundreds of people with Mac laptops.
By comparison, the PC laptops I’ve tried (Dell, Toshiba, IBM, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, etc....) pretty much all had various infuriating trackpad issues. The tracking is inconsistent (making single-pixel precision either impossible or incredibly frustrating), accidental palm touches constantly move the mouse cursor in undesirable ways, the edge-of-the-pad scrolling features are straight up broken and terrible, and the buttons below the trackpad are cheap, feel crappy, and break easily.
I find Apple laptop keyboards to be generally okay but uninspiring (unfortunately other vendors’ keyboards are often even worse), but I think their trackpads are pretty much best-of-breed.
