    kingace got a reaction from rattacko123 in REQUEST: Trackpads review & tMBP review   
    Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this as I couldn't find a "video request" sub-forum. Please move this thread if it is in the incorrect section.
     
    I was wondering if you guys could do a Trackpads comparison video. I am in the market for a new laptop and a usable trackpad is one of the most important thing me as I don't want to have to use a mouse. I went to Best bBuy and bought 4 high end laptops from different brands to try and see if there was one I'd like but all of them had absolutly disgusting trackpads. My two biggest complaints were  that clicks would linger leading to windows being resized or dragged around unintentionally, and overall precision of the cursor was abysmal. Clicks also wouldn't register half the time, forcing me to click again which was annoying. I'm sure I'm not the only one who use trackpads and would be interested in an in depth comparison of windows laptops trackpads.
     
    Also, I thought I heard Linus say he was reviewing the tMBP on the WAN show, am I mistaken? At first I was planning on getting the touchbar macbook pro, and even though I absolutly don't mind the "lack" of ports variety (for me, 4 TB3 ports beats almost any other configuration), the apparently terrible battery life (some are reporting 3-4 hours when I'm getting 10+ with my 3 years old MBP) is really throwing me off, that and the gimmicky touchbar. So I'd be very interested in a review from Linus of the tMBP, and hopefully a battery benchmark.
