      I’ve heard this from different people and I still don’t get it. Most MacBook touchpads feel better but they have the same capabilities, ie supporting up to 4 finger gestures. And it’s been a really long time since I saw a laptop touchpad that didn’t do that. So what exactly makes non-apple touchpads shit?

      I can’t speak for Macs that far back, but PC laptop trackpads in the late 90s and early 2000s did suck pretty hard. Many of the gestures people are used to on trackpads today originated with Macs, IIRC. I remember PCs having the capability to scroll by using the edge of the trackpad. That’s when I remember trackpads actually starting the get OK.
