Mine would have to be a 2007 Macbook White, it worked incredibly well for both multitouch web-browsing and even was fine for games like minecraft.

Probably my 2013 Macbook Air

Tough choice between that and my Aspire V7, they're pretty much alike, but the Acer's trackpad has way more travel.

My 2008 MacBook, that still runs great today :P

 

Apple does make some nice track pads I must say. Found in almost every laptop they ever made.

How is that laptop? Do you have the i5/750m model? Those specs look great for the price.

If I had to say one good thing about apple, it would have to be their trackpads. Thats why I almost considered a Macbook for college.

 

 

Some Asus Zenbook I saw at Best Buy the other day

 

Where was it orientated? (left or middle)

I still can't stand other laptop's track pads and stupid clunky software to operate it. Apple has it working seamless throughout the Mac OSX.

 

I would still take a MacBook Pro over any Windows laptop for college.

Well I never said I like the computer lol, just the trackpad. No actually I'm trying to kill it so I can justify in my head getting a new laptop/surface pro 3. I have dropped it and while walking out of my room with it ran into the doorframe and completly indented the chassis lol. GG.

The one in the Compaq Presario R3000, at mid sensitivity you barely needed to touch it to move the cursor, plus it was nearly smooth as glass (though that may have been from wear).

Interesting.  Apple has a 3 strike policy.  3 repairs and they will replace it.  

 

Best trackpad for me is also the apple laptops.   

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

Anthing that isn't those shiny HP ones that grips your finger, so annoying to use. But I do like my Lenovo G50's touchpad a good bit.

I should have said repairs or replacements. It was the model with the logic board issues. So I'll be getting about $2,000 back from repairs on this.

I've not used a ridiculous amount, but out of the ones I HAVE used, my old D900F was a dream to use. Definitely better than any HP, Dell, Acer, Fujitsu, Sony, Gateway or Lenovo I've ever used.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

Where was it orientated? (left or middle)

It's actually VERY decent for the price, i5 4200U, GT 750M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD with SSD Cache

 

Wondering if I should do a mini review on it lol, haven't seen a single proper review

 

And yeah, it's orientated in the middle, I hate trackpads that are either on the far left or right
