Couldn't agree with you more. The new MacBooks are lemons.

The giant trackpad is a huge complaint of mine I don't hear a lot. Why on Earth would apple make it so big??

People who like trackpads seem to enjoy it bigger. Personally I'm not in the camp, and bring a USB mouse with me anywhere I'm using my work Mac to avoid it.

We definitely seem to be in the minority though, I've heard more complaints that the XPS 15 trackpad is too small than complaints that the Mac trackpad is too large.

I like trackpads, I use the native trackpad and keyboard exclusively in the mac and almost never external.

What's wrong with it? The only thing I could imagine is maybe accidentally touching it?

It happens maybe once a month for me, not nearly enough complain for me. Personally I love the size of it.
