Yeah, the surface line seems to have quite-acceptable trackpads. I have an SP4, and the keyboard-cover's is... a bit strange to the touch (highly textured), but works reliably.

Unlike so many other brands. The vast majority I've used have been an endless stream of frustration and flakiness.

I have an SP4 as well and enjoyed the touchpad on it. I don't think it is as good as the macbook one, but the surface makes up for this with the touch screen. I would often mix it up between screen and touchpad touches to navigate and I miss it now I am using a macbook.

Yea, I'm not actually all that fond of the SP4, but it has utterly convinced me that touchpad + touchscreen is massively superior to either one alone. It's so natural feeling.

I'm using a Surface Book 2 right now, and it's -- by far -- the best laptop I've ever owned.

Seconded. I couldn't stand using a touchpad at all until I got a Surface Book 2 for work. It's now the standard to which I hold all other touchpads.
