Yeah at this point I would need a replacement for OSX and for the touchpad to be able to go away from a Mac. I can live with their other issues for the benefits of their trackpads and an operating system backed by Unix

Curious if you've tried a Surface Book? I find the touchpad feel and gesture quality to be nearly indistinguishable from a Mac.

Thanks, I will check it out. Not sure I will be happy with Windows 10 in comparison to OSX but still worth trying out.

I just use the track-point on my thinkpad. It's preferable to its trackpad (which I actually have disabled in the BIOS).
