I like trackpad on my Dell better than on my mbpro. But i think it is matter of personal preference. I like the friction it gives.

But keyboard on my dell is leagues ahead of mbp hands down.

Not wanting the cursor to stall and then jump around is not personal preference though.

You never had a modern Latitude/XPS laptop in your hands then - every mac person I showed my laptops touchpad admitted that they are equally good.

Gestures work perfectly, the cursor never jumps around either - unlike other laptops with crappy touchpads.

Like you said, personal preference - I have the Dell at work and a MBP 2015 with the force touch trackpad at home, and I much prefer the macbook - the Dell requires more force to register a click the further away from the bottom where the MBP is even.

Aren't all these configurable in Windows? I'm pretty sure you can set it exactly the way you want...

Not that I can see but I could be wrong. I think the Apple one is just perfectly even because it's not mechanical, which I prefer.

If you don't see it under the advanced mouse settings (or whatever its called) something is wrong. Most likely you don't have the correct drivers, which is odd since they are installed automatically...

For me the top keyboard is the non-Touchbar MBPs.

Touchbar MBP's keyboard is a huge downgrade and I agree that the XPS 13's keyboard is superior. I have no idea why Apple ruined one of the best keyboard in the industry with the Touchbar range.
