They are the only company to make a trackpad on a laptop that isn't hot garbage.

The macbook trackpad is far less sensitive than any PC laptop trackpad. I think it sucks actually.

The trackpad is fine, you're probably just complaining about the OS X acceleration curve which is valid but can be "fixed" in software if you so desire.

This has nothing to do with speed or acceleration. I have to move my finger a fairly large distance before any input is recognized. Apparently, input is discarded unless X distance is covered. Probably for 'palm check' reasons. Most laptops have a Synaptics touchpad sensitivity slider. Macs do not. (I do appreciate your reply though. I have tried various settings in OSX, and I have searched Google for third-party software or kexts. None seem to exist.)
