Trackpad crappy in what way?

It seems utterly normal to me?

Yes, the power drain is sleep mode is abnormal - I've read that the USB ports are to blame, and it will be fixed in upcoming firmware.

I like it less than my Macbook, but more than my Thinkpad. Find it just a bit too sensitive, so I'm always accidentally dragging things when scrolling.

Gliding is okay, but clicking is not responsive enough, and click-drag is hard to execute (particularly compared to the Macbook).

Ah, I understand.

Yes, I can see all of that.

I don't have trouble with it, but I do know what you mean when you say it :-)

1. The force needed to "click" varies depending on where you put your fingers. Clicks near the top of the track pad take more oomph

2. AFAICT you can't change the scroll speed on Fedora (not sure if that's Framework's fault but still super annoying)
